Mesquite Dust Run

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sunup on the rail fence Saddle creaks awake My mare got a fire in her step And a reason to break We crossed that dry creek early Chased the longhorn glow Boot heels in the stirrups And nowhere left to go [Pre-Chorus] Beneath that big blue ceiling You could hear the prairie call I tipped my hat and leaned in We were born to risk it all [Chorus] Ride on, ride on Through the mesquite dust run Ride on, ride on 'Til the day is done Dust on my sleeve And the wind in my hair Ride on, ride on We go anywhere (ride on) [Verse 2] Hit a canyon in the daylight Saw an eagle cut low Water in the saddle bags And a hard west wind to know We laughed at the old fence posts Half-buried in the sand My mare took the river bend Like she had it in her plan [Pre-Chorus] Beneath that big blue ceiling You could hear the prairie call I tipped my hat and leaned in We were born to risk it all [Chorus] Ride on, ride on Through the mesquite dust run Ride on, ride on 'Til the day is done Dust on my sleeve And the wind in my hair Ride on, ride on We go anywhere (ride on) [Bridge] Now the moon's up over Black Rock And the campfire's burning low Got a pocket full of clover And a map with miles to go If the night gets cold and lonely We'll keep our horses near One more ridge, one more horizon And the whole wide world is here [Chorus] Ride on, ride on Through the mesquite dust run Ride on, ride on 'Til the day is done Dust on my sleeve And the wind in my hair Ride on, ride on We go anywhere (ride on)
