Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ride
Ride 'em, jew boy
Ride 'em all around the old corral
[Verse 2]
I'm
I'm with you, boy
If I've got to ride six million miles
[Verse 3]
Now the smoke from camps a-rising
See the helpless creatures on their way
Hey, old pal, ain't it surprising
How far you can go before you stay?
[Verse 4]
Don't you let the morning blind you
When on your sleeve, you wore the yeller star
Old memories still live behind you
Can't you see by your outfit who you are?
[Verse 5]
How long will you be driven relentless ‘round the world?
The blood in the rhythm of the soul
[Verse 6]
Wild ponies, all your dreams were broken
Rounded up and made to move along
The loneliness, which can't be spoken
Just swings a rope and rides inside a song
[Verse 7]
Dead limbs play with ringless fingers
The melody which burns you deep inside
Oh, how the song becomes the singer's
May peace be ever with you as you ride
[Verse 8]
How long will you be driven relentless ‘round the world?
The blood in the rhythm of the soul
[Verse 9]
In the window, candles glowing
Remind you that today you are a child
The road ahead, forever rolling
And anything worth cryin' can be smiled
[Verse 10]
So ride
Ride 'em, jew boy
Ride 'em all around the old corral
[Verse 11]
I'm
I'm with you, boy
If I've got to ride six million miles
