Riding Alone

She saved him from whiskey
Was his constant companion
You’d see them out riding at dawn
She gave him his reasons
To shoulder the seasons
Now when you see him
He’s riding alone
She’d lay down beside him
To touch him or guide him
Turn 'round his head
On the darkest of days
He still sits beside her
Remembers her smiling
Whispers to her
That old song he would play
Please lay down beside me
How I love you
Never wanted to bid this adieu
No red river ever ran deeper
Than this old cowboy’s love
Than this cowboy’s love that runs true
