Lyrics
Ride On

Jimmy MacCarthy

True you ride the finest horse I have ever seen,
Standing sixteen, one or two. With eyes wild and green,
And you ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch,
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to.

CHORUS 

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to.

When you ride in to the night without a trace behind,
Run your claw along my gut one last time.
I turn to face an empty space where once you used to lie,
And look for a spark that lights the night
Through a teardrop in my eye.
CHORUS

Never heard the original. But it is a great song and you perform it really well. I enjoy the cool sound and great vocal. And what a splendid guitar solo

Like Kenneth, I never heard the original, but I like this so much that I don't care if I ever do! Lead guitar work and vocals are absotively vunderbar!
