The Ride - Chris Ledoux[00:00:00]
Written by:Sam Weedman[00:00:02]
I was six years old[00:00:06]
My brother was ten[00:00:08]
One July day came running in[00:00:09]
Seen a ferris[00:00:12]
Wheel at the edge of town[00:00:13]
So of course[00:00:15]
We headed on down[00:00:17]
Well it took us an[00:00:20]
Hour to walk that far[00:00:21]
Carrying our fortune in a mason jar[00:00:24]
It was all pretty sad[00:00:27]
A cheap county fair[00:00:28]
With a few old rides[00:00:30]
But there was ponies there[00:00:31]
Well the ponies stunk[00:00:37]
And the air was still[00:00:39]
In that dusty circle[00:00:40]
Behind the ferris wheel[00:00:42]
This old guy smelling of[00:00:44]
Smoke and rum[00:00:45]
Swung me up and[00:00:47]
Sat me down on one[00:00:48]
Well I'd never rode a horse[00:00:52]
But I'd seen it done[00:00:53]
Cowboy movies made[00:00:56]
It look like fun[00:00:56]
This old man whispered[00:00:58]
A few soft words[00:00:59]
It was the best[00:01:02]
Advice I've ever heard[00:01:02]
He said sit tall in the saddle[00:01:06]
Hold your head up high[00:01:08]
Keep your eyes fixed[00:01:11]
Where the trail meets the sky[00:01:14]
And live like you ain't afraid to die[00:01:19]
And don't be scared just enjoy your ride[00:01:24]
I went up a kid with shaking hands[00:01:34]
And I came down a full grown man[00:01:38]
It was like he'd cast some voodoo spell[00:01:41]
Things were different for me now I could tell[00:01:44]
'Cos whenever[00:01:48]
Troubles come wandering in[00:01:49]
His rhyme would[00:01:52]
Pop in my head again[00:01:52]
And somehow I rode[00:01:55]
Through the needles and nails[00:01:56]
Brambles and[00:01:58]
Thorns that life entails[00:01:59]
He said sit tall in the saddle[00:02:03]
Hold your head up high[00:02:05]
Keep your eyes fixed[00:02:08]
Where the trail meets the sky[00:02:10]
And live like you ain't afraid to die[00:02:16]
And don't be scared just enjoy your ride[00:02:21]
Well I know some[00:02:31]
Day farther down the road[00:02:32]
I'll come to the edge[00:02:34]
Of the great unknown[00:02:35]
There'll stand a black horse riderless[00:02:38]
And I wonder if I'm ready for this[00:02:41]
So I'll saddle him up[00:02:45]
And he'll switch his tail[00:02:46]
And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell[00:02:48]
And lift my song into the air[00:02:52]
That I learned at that dusty fair[00:02:55]
Sit tall in the saddle[00:03:00]
Hold your head up high[00:03:03]
Keep your eyes fixed[00:03:06]
Where the trail meets the sky[00:03:08]
And live like you ain't afraid to die[00:03:13]
And don't be scared[00:03:19]
Just enjoy your ride[00:03:22]
Now don't be scared[00:03:25]
Just enjoy your ride[00:03:28]
