Lyrics[]
Set out early, every seasoned rider knows Keep an even pace, steady as she goes Headed back to town after several nights away I rode past you on the road again today Gentle shadows in the mist among the trees Who awakes prepared to face such sights as these? God keep the bounty hunter who shows mercy to his prey I rode past you on the road again today And as you approached, I could sense the threat But a stranger's just a friend who hasn't shared their secrets yet Make camp by sundown, watchfire burning bright Songs bloom in the dark and throb down in the night I seek the gate of wisdom, the secret state of play I rode past you on the road again today Rise up restless, get ready for the waterworks Shun the hollow places where my marksman lurks One of us will tire, and one will rise and ride away I rode past you on the road again today
