George Strait - The Cowboy Rides Away (Official Lyric Video) 

My brother left quietly. We didn't know about his pain. I made a video of photos gathered and saw so many of his photographs, he was wearing a cowboy hat. I used this song to play him off into the sunset. Bye Rod, Jan 14, 1953- Feb 28, 2024.

my grandpa was one of the last cowboys of his generation, my grandmother would sit outside and paint him as he’d rope cattle and tame horses. We laid both of them to rest as they passed a week from each other. One couldn’t live without the other and this song was played at their funeral.

Once you hear this song you will never forget it. It's beautiful and haunting.

My brother in law Jerry lost his battle with heart disease at the age of 44 on 4/24/24, this song reminds me of him and the heartache it’s caused our family. Rest in Peace Jerry💔

Its time to say goodbye to yesterday. Timeless words. Sung only how George can sing them

My husband was a true cowboy. At his funeral, this was the song he requested to be played right before the closing prayer. There were only graveside services with his saddle on top of his casket. This song just melts my heart.

Don't ride away just yet George

Just saw George in concert in Vegas yesterday!!!!! At 70 he's still killing it!!!!!!

I'm at my father's viewing as I write this and he loved this song. For his 90th birthday party last year he wanted to listen to this song and I felt it was for a reason like he knew deep down it was his last that's why I have a video of him listening to this song. I love you Dad and am going to miss you

This song means a lot to many people. For me it’s saying goodbye to an unfaithful wife. Thanks George for helping me get going.

Our friend, our cowboy, Alan Rountree, rode away yesterday for the final ride. Our hearts are heavy in this loss. 💔 Immediately thought of this song. Sweet ride to Jesus.

I left my mother land Texas, to work. Graduated and joined the United States Marines. Your songs helped my mom and dad . Mr Strait you are the backbone to our young veterans and Texas citizens! Keep singing songs please.

What country music sounded like before it died. Miss it so much

This song reminds me of my recent retirement. It’s difficult to suddenly stop working when you’ve done it for 50 years but you have to decide to just ride away.

My grandpa died js yesterday I wish I could of seen him before he died and I've never said goodbye, this was one of his favorite songs he was Raymond

I’m spiritually healed by these sweet melodies💖💖💖

We just lost a loved one he found out he had cancer one night before he passed away. He was a good man raced go-cart,s. This is the last song they played at his funeral.❤

I’m so worn down. Too tired to cry. But this song helps me a little. Soothes my heart in a melancholy way. Thank you George.

King of Country! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

We played this as we let go of the balloons for my uncle who passed away 4 weeks ago, fly high Uncle Chris you will always be my favorite cowboy 🕊⭐🙏

This song means so much to me, it was played at my Daddy’s funeral 🙏 Thank You Kindly George for such a Wonderful song.

There’s only one King and that’s King George🤠🙌🏻

This was one of my dad's favorite songs that he would play all the time and when he passed away in May of this year at 60 years old we played it for him in his memory. This is the first time I have been able to listen to it since.

This is where the cowboy rides awayy

It's time to say goodbye to yesterday

Great Song and the Greatest Singer Singing it!🇺🇸🙏

The king of country music……... Enough said.

The real country music... My gosh! This is timeless...today I am 33 and I started listening to this music when I was 10 and I still love it the same way, I think my future great grandchildren will love this too as if it was just recorded/released during their time 💞💞💞

The true king of country music

This is a classic old school country song. Why can't we hear this on the radio anymore? George is as cool as the other side of the pillow.

I love me a lot of George Strait! He's been my favorite since the day he started singing!

Today my father passed away he was raised in Texas and he absolutely loved country music but I think that he really enjoyed this song 💔

No one like george will ever come along in a thousand years! True master of country music!

One of his most beautiful songs, love it to pieces

My Grandpa was a dryland farmer / rancher in the Pawnee National Grasslands in northern Colorado. He could not make a living only farming or ranching so all of the people who lived out in this area had to do both. My grandfather taught me many valuable things to guide me in life. He told me to always do be very best - even if no one else would see my work. He taught me t he proper way use a file and a hand wood cutting saw. He build all of the barns and out-building on the farm / ranch with nothing but hand tools.

Love the Strait comeback!

Im not a cowboy or from the west. But this song warms my heart🔥 Much love from Philippines🇵🇭🇵🇭 GS ❤! Thank you for this Wonderful Song 🙏

Bringing back the songs from the good ol' days,

This song is one of the most beautiful ... but it feels like a stab deep in the heart.

Cant go wrong with King George Broke the mold after him Long Live Cowboys!!

I've listen to George Strait since I was a child laying in the back of my dad's Ford. I'm 36 I'll love George til I'm buried 😂💋❤🌹👌

I love this song, so simple, yet it says it all

Still love this song 🙌🏽🔥🔥

This came as I was driving away from my dads funeral can’t stop the tears.

My grandfather passed away last month. He was born at Mississippi. He moved to Texas in during 80s. He was true cowboy. He loves small town in Texas. I’m so glad my family picked his song played at his funeral. I miss him so much.

Love this video! I still watch old westerns! Perfect!🎶❤️🤠

My grandpa enjoyed music, especially George Strait. He liked to keep notes about various things so I was always finding things he wrote down when going through his belongings after he passed. He was diagnosed with cancer at 80 and didnt have the desire to fight it at that age. The last note I found that he took simply said The Cowboy Rides Away.

Love George strait

PURE COUNTRY ❤🤠❤

This is my dads favorite. He’s tired now and fading quickly. Sometimes he remembers how much he loves this song, others no recollection. What he always loved was a glass of bourbon and a beer. Pour a shot as a tribute to him when you can. Hoping for more memories …

my gramps recently passed.. this song will forever remind me of him😞

This one is for you daddy Unclehawk💖👼 Miss you😢

When I die, I want this song to be played at my funeral.

I played this song when my dad passed away in 2021. I sure do miss him everyday. I miss n love dad

This song brings back so many memories.

This song will always remind me of my fiance who passed away from Covid. Great cowboy!!!

Brooks and Dunn do a fabulous job with this,did George strait proud😊❤

Can't go wrong with George Strait!

The KING of country. When he’s gone he will never be left behind.

George Strait is a truly class act.Lovely song by one of the best.

My grandma loved this song. Whenever this song played, my grandma and papa would dance with each other.

I grew up in Texas and saw George go from a Rocker to a Country star. I am happy I saw that. Why? Country gained more!!! The song itself is what I like. There a few cowboys today. However, being a cowboy is not just a job. A cowboy is a way of likfe, a mental process. It is about ideals, aspirations, and desires to make things right.

There will Never Be Another George Strait,, The Real King Of Country.. And such a wonderfull Man!! 🎶🎤🎸🎵🎼🐎💯❤️

the goat 🐐

This was my papas favorite song, he died of an eternal organ failure

Played at my dad's funeral in Feb, makes me feel so sad but such a fab song

Love this song. So glad he hasn’t ridden away. 🙏❤️🎵

Great video compilation! This song massively helped me get through my divorce by singing along with it over and over and over in the car. Now I own that pain. But it has the beautiful melody and rhythm of this song. Thanks to Sonny Throckmorton and Casey Kelly for writing it, and George Strait for singing it. Nowadays it brings nothing but a huge smile. 😎

This song just brings me back to the days when I did team roping in my Young days, when I was young and right out of high school 😢.

I grew up with George Strait. From the time I was in first grade and still a fan to this time. I can't give up this amazing music at all! He is an idol of mine I looked up to since I was a little kid. And I will still look up to him forever and ever

I just love George Strait.

Love this song so much, even more i just lost my dad Saturday and it's hurting me but I'm going make it through it

This was played at my neice’s funeral. She was only 9. MPS took her from us way too soon. I miss her so much. Glad that I found it today.

George Strait a TRUE LEGEND!!! Thank you for so many wonderful songs!!! May God bless you for giving so many people so many wonderful times and memories!!!❤❤❤❤

Keeping true to his roots🤘 Long live real country!!

What a classic song. I grew up in the 50's and western movies were king. I listen to this song and takes me back to little boy's dreams. Thank you George!

This is my all time Favorite by far!

Anyone else remember when country music was actual country?

I was just at his concert in Vegas a couple weeks ago, while he was talking about his first time performing he never thought he’d get as far as he has, and he also mentioned he doesn’t know how much more he has in him. we need to cherish this man as long as we can. ❤️🤠❤️🤠❤️ #KingGeorge what a legacy. ride on cowboy we love you always.

Thank You so Much for Your Years of Country Music. King of Country

THIS IS WHERE THE COWBOY RIDES AWAY I knew the stakes were high right from the start When she dealt the cards I bet my heart Now I just found a game that I can't play and this is where the cowboy rides away And my heart is sinking like the setting sun setting on the things I wish I'd done It's time to say goodbye to yesterday and this is where the cowboy rides away [ guitar ] We've been in and out of love and in between And now we've played the final showdown scene As the credits roll the sad song starts to play this is where the cowboy rides away And my heart is sinking like the setting sun setting on the things I wish I'd done Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say this is where the cowboy rides away Oh the last goodbye's the hardest one to say this is where the cowboy rides away

I really love Country Song Music ❤🇵🇭

I like this kind of music ❤ i'm mexican but i love this country music 🎉🎉🎉🎉 god bless you all of you
