I almost could not finish watching the movie, I kept coming back the whole time to this song

[MSLIGHTMARKERDISTRESS]

They need to make a movie about buster and how he lived up till he was killed

[jdiagomoreno]

Let me tell you buddy
There's a faster gun
Comin' over yonder
when tomorrow comes
Let me tell you buddy
and it won't be long
when you find yourself singing your last cowboy song
yi pi ki yi yay
when the round up ends
yi pi ki yi yay
and the campfire ends
yi pi ki yi yay
he shalt be saved
when a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
When they wrap my body
in the bindlin' sheet
and they take my six irons
pull the boots from my feet
unsaddle my pony
she'll be itchin' to roam
I'll be halfway to heaven under horsepower of my own
yi pi ki yi yay
when the round up ends
yi pi ki yi yay
and the campfire ends
yi pi ki yi yay
he shalt be saved
when a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
yi pi ki yi yay
i'm glory bound
no more jingle jangle
I'll lay my guns down
yi pi ki yi yay
he shalt be saved
when a cowboy trades his spurs for wings
when a cowboy trades his spurs for wings

"Unsaddle my pony, she'll be itchin' to roam
I'll be halfway to heaven under horsepower of my own"

[brandonmbanks]

Let me tell you, buddy
There's a faster gun
Coming over yonder
When tomorrow comes

Let me tell you, buddy
And it won't be long
Till you find yourself singing
Your last cowboy song

Yippee-ki-yi-yay
When the roundup ends
Yippee-ki-yi-yay
And the campfire dims

Yippee-ki-yi-yay
He shalt be saved
When a cowboy trades
His spurs for wings

When the wrap my body
In the thin linen sheet
And they take my six ounce
Pull the boots from my feet

Unsaddle my pony
She'll be itching to roam
I'll be halfway to heaven
Under horsepower my own

Yippee-ki-yi-yay
When the roundup ends
Yippee-ki-yi-yay
And the campfire dims

Yippee-ki-yi-yay
He shalt be saved
When a cowboy trades
His spurs for wings

Yippee-ki-yi-yay
I'm glory bound
No more jingle jangle
I lay my guns down

Yippee-ki-yi-yay
He shalt be saved

When a cowboy trades
His spurs for wings

Was this released too late to be considered for the Golden Globes? If not, how this didn’t get a nomination is beyond

[adamkondracki]

Now this IS Country. .Atleast it was when I was a young'n..I'm 33..What does that say about 95% of today's country music???

[DW-zjux]

Whole movie shoulda been about scruggs

Almost but not quite the same melody as The Christian Life by the Louvin Brothers.
