Grace and Grit

Thirty-four years, the road Doug walked on Clean as the rivers, strong as the dawn Kicking the dust of that old dark trail With a heart unchained, cowboy prevails Cheers to the battles Doug faced and won Promises kept 'neath the burnin' sun Raising a glass as we gather 'round To honor the man who stood his ground Riding the storms, never got hauled His spirit’s a fire that never got cold Doug’s story, it's one we're proud to tell Thirty-four years, rang that freedom bell Thirty-four years, not a step astray Guided by faith, he found his way Through trials and nights, so deep and long Doug's will held fast, his spirit strong In the chapel light, he kneels and prays Thanking the Lord for each one of his days When the shadows fell, Doug would stand tall Grace of the Lord to carry him through it all With every trial, each mile he roamed Doug found his way, he found his home [Chorus] Oh, lift your hats and let's give a cheer For a man who's walked through doubt and fear
