Paul Gross - Ride Forever lyrics

Ride Forever 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.
