Ride, Ride, Ride

I threw a ten on the bar, ready to drown
The hell I've been goin' through
I didn't make it far 'fore an old cowboy sat down
Said, "Buddy, I've been there too"
Reds on his chest and miles in his eyes
Said, "I've seen my fair share of hard times"
I've tried fixin' problems with band-aids and Bibles
But the only real secret to life
Is you gotta ride, ride, ride
When the cloud's rollin' in 'til the sun's back again
And you'll find, find, find
That what you're made of is barbed wire tough
Stare down the storm, yeah, bring on the rain
Life will throw you off, boy, but saddle up anyway
And ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride
He bought me a round, said, "I know you're down bad
But it's darkest before the daylight
May not have the buckle, might not wear the hat
But we all got a cowboy side
You'll be high on the horse, then hittin' the wall
Half of livin' is riskin' a fall"
But it's worth the ride, ride, ride
When the cloud's rollin' in 'til the sun's back again
And you'll find, find, find
That what you're made of is barbed wire tough
Stare down the storm, bring on the rain
Life will throw you off, boy, but saddle up anyway
And ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride (yeah, let it ride)
Whoo!
You gotta ride, ride, ride
When the cloud's rollin' in 'til the sun's back again
And you'll find, find, find
That what you're made of is barbed wire tough
Stare down the storm (yeah, the storm), bring on the rain (bring it on)
Life will throw you off, boy, but saddle up anyway
And ride, ride, ride (whoo!)
Ride, ride, ride
You gotta ride
Saddle up and ride, ride, ride
