Ride
Sons Of The Desert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Big as a the Texas sky
So big that they're hard to believe
Oh, I'm talkin' about dreams
I'm talkin' about free
To know that I'm not chained in
I can go where my heart leads me
Oh, I'm talkin' 'bout free
But my wishes are like horses
So I'm gonna ride
Like a cowboy into a sunset
No looking back, no regrets
Play it safe if you want to
You can't go wrong if you walk through life
Walk on
I'm gonna ride
I'm talkin' about strength
Every time that I fall on my face
I want the kind that puts me back in the lead
Oh, I'm talkin' about strength
There are people who are tryin' to
Break my stride
But my wishes are like horses
So I'm gonna ride
Like a cowboy into a sunset
No looking back, no regrets
Play it safe if you want to
You can't go wrong if you walk through life
Walk on
I'm gonna ride
I can take the good in life
Forget the rest
But the good life just ain't good
Enough for me
I want the best
So I'm gonna ride
Like a cowboy into a sunset
No looking back, no regrets
Play it safe if you want to
You can't go wrong if you walk through life
Walk on
I'm gonna ride

I loved their music, and it's great that Drew is getting back out there! I guess like Willie Nelson, he just needed to leave Nashville for awhile and head back to Texas.
