Here we are again my old friend We rode to the ends of the earth and back again We've seen all and done all that there is to do Now you're ridin' the sky with the others we knew Ridin' free like the drifer you are With your back to the wind But I have seen you and me with our backs to the wall We have fought to be free from both sides of the law Sometimes we're forgiven the chances we take Most times we're just bending the rules when they break But this is one ride just you alone have to make Win, lose or draw You go it alone my old friend We could never know how just how it would end We're just flesh and bone, we break and we bend It's chiseled in stone, we say our amen And you go it alone There once was a time when we knew the trails Now ahead or behind are fences and rails We've outlived the lifetime and ran out of room But every hand finally throws up his hat to the moon Now the fiddler's just played his last tune And told his last tale He said, you go it alone my old friend We could never know how just how it would end We're just flesh and bone, we break and we bend Now it's chiseled in stone, we've said our amen And you go it alone You go it alone, you go it alone
