lyrics

You would have been happy; the first thing I did was start praying
For a moment, I laughed at the thought of me praying for you
My faith is imperfect, I know, but there's one thing I'm sure of
I learned from you most of what I ever learned about truth

You were a gunslinger,
To us you were a legend
I never once heard you speak a word
That wasn't spoken with love
You were always so sure
That we would make you proud
And I hope you were
I hope you are, now

The strength in her voice on the phone made my own feel like weakness
And the first thing she told me was, "We lost a good man today"
There was never a doubt in my mind you were destined for heaven
I never once saw your smile without glimpsing some other place

To me you were John Wayne, plain-spoken and quietly fearless
I remember you best on the porch watching fire streak the sky
Is that mesa still standing, do mountains still line the horizon?
A part of me thought Colorado would crumble when we said goodbye
