matt robertson (az) - old roan horse - remix lyrics

there’s an old roan horse
with his head hanging low
standing tied to a trailer at a rodeo
a saggin’ back and sunken eyes
and a tail with a bay, fightin’ flies
well, he’s saddle marked, and battle scarred
loved too little, ridden too hard
he’s done his best since the very first day
won’t be long now, he’ll be on his way

he’ll come runnin’ from the box with his ears pinned back
and push that line boys how he can track
and he loves to run and turn the steers
yeah, he’s done mе well the last 21 years

hе was born in a snowstorm, his mother died
i was just fourteen when i broke him to ride
we learned so much that first year
i was young and wild, i had no fear
and our first job was the yearling outfit
i learned the nylon, he learned the bit
a bunch of wild cattle from old mexico
how fast can he run, son, how far can you throw

he’ll come running from the brush with his ears pinned back
they can duck and dive, but he will track
i’ll let fly, we’ll lay one low
we’ll find us another, and off we’ll go
now last sunday morning, i walked out and found
the old roan horse laying on the ground
a heart attack, of the best i could tell
never felt a thing when he fell
so i buried him deep, ‘neath a cottonwood tree
said a prayer, set his spirit free
an old sorrow mare came a’walkin’ by
a little roan colt clinging close to her side
now when i get to heaven i know he’ll be
standin’ at the gate there waitin’ for me
up on his back and off we’ll ride
and disappear into the blue across the great divide
