eagles-style song about an old cowboy's last days
Story behind the song
recorded on basic equipment some years ago but rediscovered and we think it's still a great tune
Lyrics
Lonely Rider
Lonely rider
Go look around you
Stars are fallin
All about you
Just another night without a friend
The day is over
The moon is rising
So ride towards
Your blue horizon
And run into her arms for one last time
You never say when youll be goin'
cos in your eyes theres nothin showin
You know her door stays open all the time
You may be callin
But wont be stoppin
you know this life
dont owe you nothin
You see her in the shadows in your head
You might as well go in and make your bed
GUITAR BREAK
Youre goin where the world wont find you
You never leave a trail behind you
Just deal another hand and ride away
And now the days
are getting colder
all your memories
are growing older
just another night without a friend
Your day is over
The moon is rising
So ride towards
Your blue horizon
And fall into her arms for one last time
You never say
when youll be going
Cos in your eyes
theres nothing showing
You know her door stays open all the time
You may be callin
But wont be stoppin
You know this life
dont owe you nothin
See her in the shadows in your head
You might as well go in and make your bed
