Beyond the Ridge |
| Was a wild black stallion we caught near Durango |
| That little black beauty was fast as a gun |
| We set him to racing, the pride of the family |
| We bet all our money, we cried when he won |
| That man Mr. Watson don’t take kind to losing |
| Accused us of stealing, he told the whole town |
| Then late in the night he killed that old stallion |
| And left us a looking for a new one to crown |
| Beyond the ridge, there’s always a valley |
| With free roaming horses that wait to be tamed |
| We thought it was over, but old Mr. Watson |
| Just couldn’t seem to let a sleeping dog li |
| They shot down my brother, arrestd two others |
| Gave us no choice but to fight for our lives |
| Oh the years to follow, I’d wish them on no one |
| Shootouts and posses and life on the run |
| But along the way, I met your dear mother |
| Warm as the glow from the midsummer sun |
| Beyond the ridge, there’s always a valley |
| With free roaming horses that wait to be tamed |
| I killed my first man and one led to another |
| A long line of killing that can’t be undone |
| And along the way, I lost all my brothers |
| I’m the last one to die, the last on the run |
| Up here on the mountain, the posse pursuing |
| The lead from their bullets, the pain in my side |
| I might never meet you, so I wrote you this letter |
| It’s looking like this could be my final ride |
| Beyond the ridge, there’s always a valley |
| With free roaming horses that wait to be tamed |
| Be good on your word, take care of your mother |
| And most of all son, be proud of your name |
