All This Way For The Short Ride
When the chute gate wings open, here we go againThe desperate dance, the kick and the spinDust risin' from a cross bred bull, fire meets with prideThe man's come a long way, just for the short rideHis wife's in the grandstands, tryin to swallow the fearA little baby inside her, who's time's drawing nearThe bulls flying high now, then he falls to his sideTheir love came a long way, just for the short rideTwo hearts in the darkness, sing a blue lullabyBeat the drum slowly, for a cowboy's last rideAnd when the dust had all settled and the crowd disappearedThe sirens still echo, in an unborn childs earLittle boys due in April, he has his daddy's blue eyesHe'll always remember, his father's last rideThey preached at the service, from john 25How christ came along way, just for the short rideBeat the drum slowly, for a cowboy's last rideWell the chute gate swings open, here we go again
