Bury me on the side of a hill
where I know the animals play.
Where the cattle graze and the horses roam
and where the sun shines most of the day.

Let me be near the sound of a stream
where the water runs cool and clear.
Let my horse run free as a meadow's breeze
for he will know I am near.

Let there be some nearby trees
where the birds can sing all day.
Where the deer roam in what is home,
and the squirrel can run and play.

My days as a cowboy are over
and I truly have no regrets.
It was a life I cherished
There is nothing I'd like to forget.

Please grant me my wish
as I would like to be...
as close to the land that I love,
where all animals and cowboys are free.
