Ride Forever lyrics

Ride Forever
I was born north of Great Slave, 1898
And I rode near all my life on a ranch near Devil`s Gate
And I`ve seen this world about me bend and flip and change
Hey, it feels like rain -- that`s a thunder cloud
We`ll, 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 -- 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

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

They tell me I`m an old man, they tell me I am blind
They took my driver`s license, this house ain`t far behind
I say jump back all you big suits `cause you`ve got something wrong
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
Or the stallion on the fly, I got it all
And I`m standing tall underneath these blue Alberta skies

And 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

So I say to all you old men, don`t let yourself get broke
If you think the world`s 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 it`s only then
I might pull in the reins.
