Riding Through the West

[Verse] I saddle up my old friend by the break of dawn, Through the morning mist, we ride till the light is gone, In the dust and the heat, side by side, we're strong, With a bond unbroken, we just keep rollin' on. [Verse 2] I named him Silver, for the moonlight on his skin, In the open fields, that's where adventures begin, Through the valleys and plains, across rivers wide, No matter the weather, he's my faithful guide. [Chorus] Riding through the West, with my horsey by my side, In the heart of the dusk, or the bright morning light, With each step we take, and each path we choose, He's more than a horse, he's what I got left to lose. [Verse 3] When the night time falls, he keeps me warm, Through the wild prairie storms, he's my calm, With a whisper, a nicker, he understands it all, From the steepest of mountains to the canyon wall. [Verse 4] We've been chased by outlaws in a blaze of gunfire, Through the echoes of the past and the dreams I aspire, He's carried my sorrows and my fleeting hopes, Through the heartache and the trials, he's my only scope. [Chorus] Riding through the West, with my horsey by my side, In the heart of the dusk, or the bright morning light, With each step we take, and each path we choose, He's more than a horse, he's what I got left to lose.
