Dusty Saddle Run

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I hit the trail at dawn With a bedroll and a grin My mare got a scar on her nose From a knife fight in Del Rio We crossed a dry wash slow Past a herd and a red-gold bluff You can hear the whole world breathe When the canyon wakes you up [Pre-Chorus] Sun on my hat brim Wind on my face Something in me Won’t stay in one place [Chorus] Ride on, ride on Wild West, take me along Ride on, ride on I was born for this road Hooves in the dirt Dust on my boots Ride on, ride on I’m coming through [Verse 2] At a shack by the fence line We traded beans for a map Old man said “Keep your eyes open Bad men move where the brush runs black” So I loosened up the reins Let my girl set the pace We found a creek full of stars And a fire by the range [Pre-Chorus] Night on the sagebrush Smoke in the sky I can feel that thunder Living in her stride [Chorus] Ride on, ride on Wild West, take me along Ride on, ride on I was born for this road Hooves in the dirt Dust on my boots Ride on, ride on I’m coming through [Bridge] If the moon gets high And the coyotes sing I’ll keep her moving Through the wide-open plains No gold, no crown Just a faithful horse And the whole damn horizon Calling me north [Chorus] Ride on, ride on Wild West, take me along Ride on, ride on I was born for this road Hooves in the dirt Dust on my boots Ride on, ride on I’m coming through
