Lyrics

Ride On

Ride on you driftin? cowpuncher
Ride on through the snow and the rain
Ride on across the mountains
The rivers, valleys and plains
And when you?re tired of your wanderin?
When the skies have lost their gleam
You can ride across Wyoming
And ride on home to me

I once knew a girl in Texas
Who loved me much more than I knew
She talked of love and marriage
But that was something I?d never do
So I went the way of a cowboy
Rode away and shed not a tear
But no matter where I wander
Her mournful words I hear

Well now here I am in Wyoming
And I?m wanting so much to go home
I miss that girl from Texas
The one I left alone
So forsaking the way of a cowboy
To the love of a woman I ride
Winding my way down the last trail
Singing this sweet lullabye


The trail?s been long and weary
But at last I?m headed home
I wonder if she?s still there waiting
Or if I?ve stayed away just a little too long
I can see now that I?m getting closer
But my old horse is moving so slow
Come on boy, I know you can make it
We?ve Just a couple more miles to go
