Well I was born up north of Great Slave, 1898 and I rode near all my life on a ranch Near Devil's Gate and I've seen this world About me bend and flip and change
Hey it feels like rain - that's a thunder Cloud

Well, I've been called a coward but I've seen two world wars and I lost my son Virgil, my Korean reward and my Lucy Died last summer - you ask me if I cry? Hell I'll show you tears they're all over this ground they're falling from these blue Alberta skies

We're gonna ride forever
You can't keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call
Well it's only then
We might pull in the reins

They tell me I'm an old man, they tell me I Am blind they took my driver's license this House ain't far behind I say jump back all You big suits you got something wrong
Cause I ain't gone no I ain't gone

I am still breathing and I still have my pride And I have my memories your life it never Dies like the wind that blows in thunder Like the stallion on the fly - I got it all And I'm standing tall, underneath these blue Alberta skies

We're gonna ride forever
You can't keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call
Well it's only then
We might pull in the reins

So I say to all you old men - don't let Yourselves get broke If you think the World's gone crazy and is scratching at Your throat It's time to dust off that old Saddle get it on a horse kick up your Spurs we're gonna run like stink
We're gonna tear across these blue Alberta skies

We're gonna ride forever
You can't keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call
Well it's only then
We might pull in the reins

We're gonna ride forever
You can't keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call
Well it's only then
We might pull in the reins

We're gonna ride forever
You can't keep horsemen in a cage
Should the angels call
Well it's only then
We might pull in the reins
