Due South movie - Ride Forever lyrics

rate me

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.
