Lyrics
THE GOOD GONE DAYS
1. I took a silver dollar and tossed it in the air
Heads I'll ride up yonder, tails I'll ride down there
Down into the canyon or high up in the clouds
Either way I'm happy to leave behind the crowd
2. The creakin' of the saddle it's just old Hal and me
lopin down the trail out here ridin' free
rockin' to the rhythm and singin' to the sky
it's all I wanna do till the day that I die
When I pause to ponder and I line up my regrets
There's a few things I'd do different on that you can lay your bets
When all and all it's over I just hope that they'll say
He rode his trail out high and wide all his good gone days
3. I know I will be judged by the deeds I done here
but If I have my wits about me when the endin' time draws near
I'll take a silver dollar and toss it in the air
Heads I'll ride up yonder, tails I'll say a prayer...
