Ride Forever lyrics

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 around me bend and flip and change
Hey it feels like rain -- it`s a thundercloud

I could be 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:
But I`m going to ride forever
You can`t keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call, well it`s only then
I might pull in the reins

Now, they tell me I`m an old man, they tell me I am blind
They took my drivers license, 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, I still have my pride
And I have my memories -- your life it never dies
Like the wind that blows in thunder, like the stallion on the fly
I got it all and I`m standing tall
Underneath these Blue Alberta Skies

(chorus repeat)

Now I say to all you old men: don`t let yourself be broke
If you think the worlds gone crazy and it`s scratching at your throat
It`s time to dust off that old saddle, get it on a horse
Kick up your spurs, we`re gonna run like stink
We`re gonna tear across these Blue Alberta Skies

We`re gonna ride forever
You can`t keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call,
Well it`s only then we might pull in the reins
