Paroles de The Ride
Chris LeDoux
HorsepowerI was six years old, my brother was tenOne July day came running in, seen a ferris wheel at the edge of townSo, of course, we headed on downWell it took us an hour to walk that farCarrying our fortune in a Mason jarIt was all pretty sad, a cheap county fairWith a few old rides but there was ponies thereWell, the ponies stunk and the air was stillIn that dusty circle behind the ferris wheelThis old guy smelling of smoke and rumSwung me up and sat me down on oneWell I'd never rode a horse but I'd seen it doneCowboy movies made it look like funThis old man whispered a few soft wordsIt was the best advice I've ever heardHe said "Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up highKeep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the skyAnd live like you ain't afraid to dieAnd don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"I went up a kid with shaking handsAnd I came down a full grown manIt was like he'd cast some Voodoo spellThings were different for me now, I could tell'Cos whenever troubles come wandering inHis rhyme would pop in my head againAnd somehow I rode through the needles and nailsBrambles and thorns that life entailsCHORUSWell I know some day farther down the roadI'll come to the edge of the great unknownThere'll stand a black horse riderlessAnd I wonder if I'm ready for thisSo I'll saddle him up and he'll switch his tailAnd I'll tip my hat and bid fairwellAnd lift my song into the airThat I learned at that dusty fair"Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up highKeep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the skyAnd live like you ain't afraid to dieAnd don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"Now don't be scared, just enjoy your ride
