He was more than just a drifter
An angel in disguise
In a worn-out leather jacket
Where he used to make his home
His luggage was the bags beneath his eyes
And we're ridin' on, ridin' on
With a sense of decency
Secure in insecurity
And we're ridin' on, ridin' on
I should've told him
I loved him ridin' next to me
Ridin' next to me
He was sorta antisocial
Didn't know from mediocrity
We never entertained the notion
That he and us could be
Only just a memory
And we're ridin' on, ridin' on
With a new desire
We shoulda tried and make 'em see
And we're ridin' on, ridin' on
I shoulda told him
I loved him ridin' next to me
Ridin' next to me
Ridin' next to me
Ridin' next to me
We'll be ridin'
So fine, the sands fall through your fingers
Before you know they're history
But still I find he's on my mind
The separation, he took a little part of me
But we're ridin' on, ridin' on
I must admit it
Through all the painful memories
We'll be ridin' on, ridin' on
I miss the comfort
I miss him ridin' next to me
Ridin' next to me
Ridin' next to me
Ridin' next to me
I miss him ridin', ridin' on
Ridin', ridin' on
Ridin', ridin' on with me, oh, yeah
