[00:00:00] The Ride - Chris Ledoux

[00:00:02] Written by：Sam Weedman

[00:00:06] I was six years old

[00:00:08] My brother was ten

[00:00:09] One July day came running in

[00:00:12] Seen a ferris

[00:00:13] Wheel at the edge of town

[00:00:15] So of course

[00:00:17] We headed on down

[00:00:20] Well it took us an

[00:00:21] Hour to walk that far

[00:00:24] Carrying our fortune in a mason jar

[00:00:27] It was all pretty sad

[00:00:28] A cheap county fair

[00:00:30] With a few old rides

[00:00:31] But there was ponies there

[00:00:37] Well the ponies stunk

[00:00:39] And the air was still

[00:00:40] In that dusty circle

[00:00:42] Behind the ferris wheel

[00:00:44] This old guy smelling of

[00:00:45] Smoke and rum

[00:00:47] Swung me up and

[00:00:48] Sat me down on one

[00:00:52] Well I'd never rode a horse

[00:00:53] But I'd seen it done

[00:00:56] Cowboy movies made

[00:00:56] It look like fun

[00:00:58] This old man whispered

[00:00:59] A few soft words

[00:01:02] It was the best

[00:01:02] Advice I've ever heard

[00:01:06] He said sit tall in the saddle

[00:01:08] Hold your head up high

[00:01:11] Keep your eyes fixed

[00:01:14] Where the trail meets the sky

[00:01:19] And live like you ain't afraid to die

[00:01:24] And don't be scared just enjoy your ride

[00:01:34] I went up a kid with shaking hands

[00:01:38] And I came down a full grown man

[00:01:41] It was like he'd cast some voodoo spell

[00:01:44] Things were different for me now I could tell

[00:01:48] 'Cos whenever

[00:01:49] Troubles come wandering in

[00:01:52] His rhyme would

[00:01:52] Pop in my head again

[00:01:55] And somehow I rode

[00:01:56] Through the needles and nails

[00:01:58] Brambles and

[00:01:59] Thorns that life entails

[00:02:03] He said sit tall in the saddle

[00:02:05] Hold your head up high

[00:02:08] Keep your eyes fixed

[00:02:10] Where the trail meets the sky

[00:02:16] And live like you ain't afraid to die

[00:02:21] And don't be scared just enjoy your ride

[00:02:31] Well I know some

[00:02:32] Day farther down the road

[00:02:34] I'll come to the edge

[00:02:35] Of the great unknown

[00:02:38] There'll stand a black horse riderless

[00:02:41] And I wonder if I'm ready for this

[00:02:45] So I'll saddle him up

[00:02:46] And he'll switch his tail

[00:02:48] And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell

[00:02:52] And lift my song into the air

[00:02:55] That I learned at that dusty fair

[00:03:00] Sit tall in the saddle

[00:03:03] Hold your head up high

[00:03:06] Keep your eyes fixed

[00:03:08] Where the trail meets the sky

[00:03:13] And live like you ain't afraid to die

[00:03:19] And don't be scared

[00:03:22] Just enjoy your ride

[00:03:25] Now don't be scared

[00:03:28] Just enjoy your ride
