Awesome America sigh in a western lullaby

We just watched an old Joel McCrea western last week. And that’s for one reason. Because there are no new Joel McCrea westerns. Joel moved on to that big ranch in the sky many moons ago. But that’s not actually the reason we watched the movie. It’s because we like his movies. And we like the good ol’ westerns. Because they remind us of how awesome America used to be. And could be again if it weren’t for all the people who hate God. Yep. An awesome America is as close as humility. And as far away as rebellion. But I know you don’t wanna hear or read all this talk about God and humility. And I’m sure you’ve got much better things to do than to worry about whether America will fall into evil hands. Right? So, I won’t trouble you with news about freedoms being sold out from under us to the highest bidders. And I won’t bother you with ideas about how liberty is lost when people are complacent. I’ll just share the words (and music if you subscribe to the The Power of God’s Love Podcast) to a nice relaxing lullaby you and your kids can use to fall asleep. Sweet dreams everyone… Cowpoke Lullaby As the fingernail moon Scratches on the noggin of the sky… And the stardust turns to sleepdust In the corner of your eye” On the top of the hill You can hear the coyotes cry… As the world falls asleep To a cowpoke lullaby. Yodel ay ee ay…yodel ay ee ay ee ay As the crickets in the grass Chirp at all the cattle walkin’ by, And the twilight turns to midnight While the Northern star shines high… When your eyes start to close, You can hear a gigantic sigh… As the world falls asleep To a cowpoke lullaby. Yodel ay ee ay…yodel ay ee ay ee ay Under the big mesquite tree That’s where sweet dreams will greet me. © 2011 Tony Funderburk (June 11) Stay tuned, Get my Rhyme & Reason Podcast delivered (free) right to your device.
