Ride Forever Songtext

von Paul Gross

Ride Forever - Paul Gross
Well I was born up north of Great Slave, 1898
And I rode near all my life on a ranch near Devil's Gate
And I seen this world about me bend and flip and change
Hey, it feels like rain - it's a thundercloud
Well I've been called a coward, but I've seen two world wars
And I lost my son Virgil - my Korean reward
And my Lucy died last Summer and you ask me if I cry
Hell, I'll show you tears - they're all over this ground
They're falling from these Blue Alberta skies

Chorus
We're gonna ride forever
You can't keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call, well its only then
We might pull in the reins
Now they tell me I'm an old man, they tell me I am blind
They took my driver's licence, this house ain't far behind
I say: jump back all you big suits you got something wrong
Cause I ain't gone, no I ain't gone

I am still breathing and I still have my pride
And I have my memories - your life it never dies
Like the wind that blows in thunder, like a stallion on the fly
I got it all and I'm standing tall
Underneath these Blue Alberta skies

Chorus

So I say to all you old men: don't let yourself get broke
If you think the world's gone crazy and its scratching at your throat
Its time to dust off that old saddle, get it on a horse
Kick up your spurs, we're gonna ride like stink
We're gonna tear across these Blue Alberta skies

Chorus
