Story behind the song
"The Old Man from the Ranch (Part One)," written and produced by Richard Shekari, is a deeply evocative country ballad that explores a man's intense quest for vengeance. The song begins with a reflective old rancher who shares profound life lessons with a younger, troubled soul. The rancher's advice is clear: to find peace, one must let go of anger and trust in divine guidance. In the verses, the focus shifts to the vengeful traveller, whose heart is burdened with rage as he relentlessly pursues his goal. His journey through various towns is driven by a consuming desire for retribution. The pivotal moment arrives when he meets the old rancher again, who offers sage advice that resonates despite the travellers initial dismissal. The song poignantly captures the internal struggle between the craving for vengeance and the old man's gentle wisdom, highlighting the travellers choice to ignore the guidance and press on toward his goal. With its powerful narrative and emotional resonance, the song delves into themes of redemption, the conflict between revenge and wisdom, and the healing power of forgiveness. Richard Shekaris heartfelt lyrics and evocative production make this song a moving experience, perfect for listeners who appreciate introspective and thought-provoking country music.
Lyrics
The Old Man from the Ranch (Part One) Chorus: He said, "Son, hold your horses, lend me your ears. Ive been through life and seen its many faces. There are times you just have to let it go and let the Lord guide your heart through this journey. He went on saying, Son, take a look at my beard. I can see the pain in your eyes, and I know this: youre now a man, and a man does what he must. But let the Lord guide your heart through this journey. Verse 1: Now Im old and ready for revenge, My heart filled with nothing but vengeance, always heavy. Riding through many towns, both night and day, I couldnt wait to reach my destination. When I arrived at this ranch and begged for water, an old fellow grabbed my horse and shook his head. *Chorus* Verse 2: I rode off, still filled with rage. He didnt know about me, nor did he understand my pain. But his words kept resounding in my ears as I rode through the valley, close to my goal. I could hear another horse riding right behind me. When I turned, it was the old man on his horse, calling my name and telling me that it wasnt worth it. I ignored him and rode off into the sunset. *Chorus* Copyright 2024 Richard Shekari. Written and Produced by Richard Shekari.
