Verse 1
Morning breaks golden across a faded map
Old leather saddle and my worn-out cowboy hat
Miles of longing settle deep beneath the sky
I ride these memory highways, never question why
Pre-Chorus
Sweet laughter echoes, drifting on the breeze
Your face in the clouds, just out of reach
Chorus
And the road rolls on over hills and blue
I’m a wandering heart, but I’m calling out for you
With a lonesome tune strummed low and clear
Every sunrise shines, but I wish that you were near
Post-Chorus
Ride on, ride on
Under the same old sun
Ride on, ride on
Til the journey’s done
Verse 2
Dust on my boots, stories in my hands
Ghost towns and rivers, endless miles of land
I carry your name on my shoulder strong
The distance is wide, but my feeling’s never gone
Pre-Chorus
When the prairie wind sings your memory through the pine
I close my eyes and picture your hand in mine
Chorus
And the road rolls on over hills and blue
I’m a wandering heart, but I’m calling out for you
With a lonesome tune strummed low and clear
Every sunrise shines, but I wish that you were near
Post-Chorus
Ride on, ride on
Under the same old sun
Ride on, ride on
Til the journey’s done
Bridge
Silver rails shining where the fences end
All these winding paths, will they lead me back again
Sometimes I feel you in the whisper of the grain
Like a gentle promise pulling me through rain
Chorus
And the road rolls on over hills and blue
I’m a wandering heart, but I’m calling out for you
With a lonesome tune strummed low and clear
Every sunrise shines, but I wish that you were near
Post-Chorus
Ride on, ride on
Under the same old sun
Ride on, ride on
Til the journey’s done
Outro
So I follow the twilight, my hope burning bright
Through open wide country and the trembling of night
If you call my name softly, I’ll find my way home
This wandering cowboy never rides alone
