My Tribute to Johnny
The sun is setting over North Fork. The streets are empty and all is quiet at the McCain Ranch. The fire is out in the fireplace and the barn door is shut. Mark gathered up some of his favorite belongings…his guitar, his trusty lasso and Pa’s Bible. He is saddling up Blue Boy one final time. Mark can now join former residents of North Fork and Johnny can join his parents, Chuck and former Mouseketeers and actors in taking a final bow.
And Chuck is greeting Johnny and saying…”Heaven is a new and mighty fine place”...knowing it was hard for Johnny to leave everything behind. Then Chuck gently reminded Johnny there “was no lookin’ back, we’ve come too far.” “I wasn’t really lookin’’ back” Johnny explained...”just remembering back”. It was then Chuck stopped for a moment and allowed Johnny to remember, but only after a moment said ...”what do you say we enter Heaven from here?” And Johnny replied ”fine” (From Sharpshooter)
Now Johnny with his guitar can play a round of “Ghost Riders in the Sky” with Glen Campbell and Roy Clark.
And Johnny is riding ‘Two Bits’ one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A plowin’ through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
The Cowboys eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat
They’re ridin’ hard to catch that herd but they ain’t caught them yet
They’ve got to ride forever in that range up in the sky
On horses snortin’ fire, as they ride on, hear their cry.
Yi-pi-yi-ay Yi-pi-yi-o Ghost riders in the Sky
Ride on Johnny….ride on.…Thanks for the Memories!... Collapse
