In The Summer Of His Years Lyrics

A young man rode

With his head held high

Under the Texas sun

And no one guessed

That a man so blessed

Would perish by the gun

Lord, would perish by the gun

A shot rang out

Like a sudden shout

And Heaven held it's breath

For the dreams of

A multitude of men

Rode with him to his death

Lord, rode with him to his death

Yes, the heart of

The world weighs heavy

With the helplessness of tears

For the man cut down

In a Texas town

In the summer of his years

The summer of his years

And we who stay

Mustn't ever lose

The victories that he'd won

For wherever man

Looked to Freedom back

His soul goes riding on

Lord, his soul goes riding on
