My horse is saddled, sunshine on my way It hurts to see you cry, but I can't stay This one last stand almost made me fall in love with you But now I know I'd only make you blue I promised you sweet loving and a home But darling, I can't stop a rolling stone It could have meant a better life, a farewell to the past But now I say farewell to you at last So let me ride, oh let me ride I need the sunshine and the golden stars at night So let me ride, oh let me ride Beyond the hills to where the country's free and wide And should there come a moment of regret With memories of me running through your head Then I know you've been a sparkling diamond on my way Yet I've got to say farewell today So let me ride, oh let me ride I need the sunshine and the golden stars at night So let me ride, oh let me ride Beyond the hills to where the country's free and wide So let me ride, oh let me ride I need the sunshine and the golden stars at night So let me ride, oh let me ride Beyond the hills to where the country's free and wide *
