"I don't need no woman to kiss me And I don't need no man to stand by my side I don't need to slake my thirst with whiskey Don't need to shuffle cards to pass the time 'Cause the stars are bright and silvery And with the dry ache of a lone coyote's whine My Savior's calling and I'm listening Time to saddle up my pony and ride 'Cause heaven is waiting Just past the horizon Just over the mesas Across the great divide And faith is blazing This trail that I ride on up this mountain I'm prayin' I have the strength to climb I ain't looking for no seven golden cities But I know there's a fortune somewhere to find There's a peace that I hear whisperin' through the pinyons And a love that's taller than the ponderosa pines And heaven is waiting Just past the horizon Just over the mesas Across the great divide And faith is blazing This trail that I ride on up this mountain I'm prayin' I have the strength to climb So don't ask for no lengthy explanation When there ain't no reason quite wild enough No words could be as tender It's greater than the fears that we imagine More than the warmth that we remember It's always just beyond the pass And I must go 'Cause heaven is waiting Just past the horizon Just over the mesas Across the great divide And faith is blazing This trail that I ride on up this mountain I'm prayin' I have the strength to climb Oh heaven is waiting Oh heaven is waiting Heaven is waiting"
