I've laid in the dust
Seen our love turn to rust in our hands
I've counted the years
With this fear as my only friend
I built me a fence
So that I could make sense of it all
I'm caught in-between
Hell and a dream and a song
Oh, rider, rider
Oh, rider, go on and ride
Been loadin' my gun
Since the first cry of dawn filled the air
And I'm speakin' these words
That I never heard in a prayer
I drew me a line
And I did all my time seekin' gold
But this line that I've drawn
Is long, and it's takin' its toll
Oh, rider, rider
Oh, rider, go on and ride
Oh, rider, rider
Oh, rider, go on and ride
You will have, you will have wings
When you fall on your knees
It's a meaningless waste
When we give just to take 'til it's gone
Been lookin' for freedom
But freedom's been here all along
Oh, rider, rider
Oh, rider, go on and ride
Oh, rider, rider
Oh, rider, go on and ride
Go on and ride
Go on and ride
Go on and ride
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
