Happy Trails My Friend
~ Happy Trails My Friend…
There ain’t no worn in path across life’s prairie
to show which is the right way for us to go
If we‘ve chosen right or wrong is just something
that we probably ain’t never gonna know
So there ain’t no need in standing at the fork
knocking our brains out to figure the right road
Either way we’re still gonna reach the trails end
don’t make no difference which path we choose to go
Sure, this way might go here and that way go there
but I can’t say that I really give two hoots
Think I’ll be happy whichever way I go
as long as I got my horse, my hat and boots
I got a few rules that helps me get along
keep the sun at my face, the shadows behind
Roll with what life gives and stay true to my word
try to be honorable, gentle and kind
‘Til we meet again somewhere out on the trail
may your path always take you through the sweet grass
You’re welcome to warm your bones by my fire
anytime that our two happy trails might pass
