Randy Travis addressed the heaviness of the moment in a statement on his social media, yesterday; “This has been an incredibly hard 24 hours. Last night, many souls were lost in the horrific plane crash in Washington, D.C. and this morning, we lost a dear member of our country music and Warner Music family, publishing giant Ben Vaughn. My prayers are with all of the people affected by these losses, including members of our team. Tomorrow's song release, "Horses In Heaven" feels like a timely reminder of God's love and mercy and I hope it brings some comfort to those of us hurting through these tragedies. We have decided to continue with this release and promotion of it, but felt remiss to not share what's on my heart right now... God Bless Ben, the victims of last night's crash and all who are feeling the heaviness of this moment.”

There are horses in Heaven,
So I bet that God's a cowboy
Headin’ off into the sunset in a big white Stetson hat
Every time you hear the thunder, it's just a posse full of angels
Ridin’ those horses up in Heaven, golden saddles on their backs.

Randy Travis is currently on the More Life Tour with special guest vocalist James Dupré along with his longtime touring band.
