Ride 'em, Jewboy Songtext
Ride, ride, ride
Ride 'em, Jewboy
Ride 'em all around the old corral
I'm with you
I'm with you boy
If I got to ride six million miles

Now the smoke from camp's arisin'
See the helpless creatures on their way
Well, old pal, ain't it surprisin'
How far you can go before you stay

Do not let the mornin' blind you
When on your sleeve you wore the yella star
Old memories still live behind you
Can't you see by your outfit who you are

How long will you be driven relentlessly around the world
The blood in the rhythms of the soul

Wild ponies all, your dreams were broken
Rounded up and made to move along
The loneliness which can't be spoken
Just swings a rope and rides inside a song

Dead limbs play with ringless fingers
A melody which burns you deep inside
Oh how the song becomes the singers
May peace be ever with you when you ride
In the window, candles glowin'
Reminds you that today you are a child
The road ahead, forever rollin'
And anything worth cryin' can be smiled

So ride, ride, ride
Ride 'em, Jewboy
Ride 'em all around the old corral
I'm with you
I'm with you boy
If I got to ride six million miles
