Summer Of His Years Lyrics

Artist: Connie Francis

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 Southern shout,
And Heaven held its breath,
For a man shot down,
In a Southern town,
In the summer of his years,
Yes, the summer of his years.

And we who stay mustn't ever lose,
The victories that he's won,
For wherever "man" looks to Freedom's past,
His soul goes riding on,
Lord, his soul goes riding on!

by DEFisher on 5/27/2008 10:32am I do believe you have some of the lyrics wrong; I myself am not certain exactly what they are since I was 10 years old when all these things were happening, but the last two lines of the second verse are definitely NOT what you have listed. And, you have forgotten the bridge portion.
by Dan Collier on 5/27/2008 10:24pm Your lyrics for Summer of his years is incomplete. The song goes like this: 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 its 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 in the helplessness of tears, for a man shot 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 won. for wherever men look to freedom's end, his soul goes riding on, lord, his soul goes riding on! (I have the record) Thanks! -Dan
