Same Trail

Western | KMK

[Verse 1]

Two cowboys ride into the same red sun,

One says go left, one says right,

But neither one is wrong.

We’ve been arguing the route

Since we saddled up at dawn,

But the cattle still need moving,

And the daylight won’t last long.

[Verse 2]

My daddy used to say,

A man who rides alone

May win every fight he picks,

But he’ll die far from home.

So you hold your tongue a moment,

Let me hold mine too,

‘Cause we’re both trying to get somewhere,

And we both know what is true.

[Chorus]

We ride the same trail,

We’re under the same sky.

You see it different than I do,

That don’t make either of us blind.

Different roads to the same water,

Different words for the same fire.

We don’t have to think alike

To want the same things higher.

Same trail — same trail,

We’re riding the same trail.

[Verse 3]

The land don’t care who’s right

When the winter comes in cold,

And a man standing alone

Is a story never told.

So let your pride ride drag,

Put the mission out in front.

We’ve buried too many good men

Over fights that don’t amount.

[Chorus]

We ride the same trail,

We’re under the same sky.

You see it different than I do,

That don’t make either of us blind.

Different roads to the same water,

Different words for the same fire.

We don’t have to think alike

To want the same things higher.

Same trail — same trail,

We’re riding the same trail.

[Bridge]

You can disagree with a man

And still take a bullet for him.

You can argue at the campfire

And still ride together at sunup.

That’s not weakness —

That’s the oldest kind of strength.

Two minds pulling together

Can outrun anything.

[Chorus]

We ride the same trail,

We’re under the same sky.

You see it different than I do,

That don’t make either of us blind.

Different roads to the same water,

Different words for the same fire.

We don’t have to think alike

To want the same things higher.

Same trail — same trail,

We’re riding — the same trail.

[Outro]

Same trail…

Same trail…

Riding on…
