the cowboys last wish - will dudley lyrics

[verse 1]
he was up near the snow line at sunrise
did not feel the change on the wind
for he had a few strays still out wandering
that he thought he might like to bring in
so he saddled old dunny and he rode out
never thinking he’d seen his last dawn
but the weather plays tricks in the mountains
and like a whisper, the cowboy was gone

then a blizzard blew in without warning and left him with no place to go
and high in the passes, the cowboy lay down in cold, bitter snow
and as he lay dying, he looked up at a young bird beginning to fly
and the wings that the eagle was spreading took it high over mountainous skies

[chorus]
to ride on the wings of an eagle, and to sail with the sun at his side
to ride on the wings of an eagle was the cowboy’s last wish as he died

then the angels all looked down and saw him
for they knew what his last wish had been
they brought him the wings he had prayed for
and lifted his soul to the wind
he soared over mountains and valleys
he crossed the great western divide
he rose on the wings of an eagle, and he sailed with the sun at his side
[chorus]
for to ride on the wings of an eagle, to sail with the sun at his side
to ride on the wings of an eagle was the cowboy’s last wish as he died
to ride on the wings of an eagle, to sail with the sun at his side
to ride on the wings of an eagle was the cowboy’s last wish as he died
