Ride the Dark Trail
Lyrics
It looks like I'm fat but I'm tough as new rubber
I hear ya chose your last rancho cause he's rough but I can tell you
I'm tougher
My boots may be full of mud
I have no bullets for my gun
But if you want to come
We can ride the trail together
Well I got a bit of land when my dad passed but it doesn't grow shit
And its way off yonder somewhere near the lonely mountains I've always tried to avoid it
But if we go there together
We can build an earth ship
You can paint all day
On all those strips of leather that sit
In that box in the hall closet under your shoes
And you can tell our daughter
About the days when we barely made it through
When we rode the dark trail together
We were lost in the never never
There's eighteen naked cowboys plotting my demise at ram ranch
So I ride a little past and in a ravine is where I make my camp
put my blanket down
and roll my last cigarette
I see a mirage and it feels kind of bizarre
It's the future of us sitting around playing cards
And I lean past my losing hand and say
Remember the days?
That we rode the dark trail together
We were lost in the never never
We were lost in the never never together
It looks like I'm fat but I'm tough as new rubber
I hear ya chose your last rancho cause he's rough but I can tell you
I'm tougher
My boots may be full of mud
I have no bullets for my gun
But if you want to come
We can ride the trail together
Well I got a bit of land when my dad passed but it doesn't grow shit
And its way off yonder somewhere near the lonely mountains I've always tried to avoid it
But if we go there together
We can build an earth ship
You can paint all day
On all those strips of leather that sit
In that box in the hall closet under your shoes
And you can tell our daughter
About the days when we barely made it through
When we rode the dark trail together
We were lost in the never never
There's eighteen naked cowboys plotting my demise at ram ranch
So I ride a little past and in a ravine is where I make my camp
put my blanket down
and roll my last cigarette
I see a mirage and it feels kind of bizarre
It's the future of us sitting around playing cards
And I lean past my losing hand and say
Remember the days?
That we rode the dark trail together
We were lost in the never never
We were lost in the never never together
