The Ballad of Duke

[Verse] Riding through the night Dark, moonless sky On my Palomino With a spirit so bold Duke was his name He will never grow gray Never get old The love and wonder we shared [Verse] We’re passing through the fields Where the goldenrod blooms Trusting where he leads As the hills sing their tune Blond mane flowing free Like sunshine in the breeze Duke's heart beats strong His soul a gentle ease [Chorus] Oh My very best friend We'll journey together until the very end Through washes Ranges And the black unknown Our love unbreakable For a lifetime we'll roam. [Verse] Blazing all new trails Sometimes he stumbled But we always prevailed He never took a blink When he was watching over So that we didn’t sink Oh, Never get old The love and wonder we shared [Chorus] Oh My very best friend We'll journey together until the very end Through washes Ranges And the black unknown Our love unbreakable For a lifetime we'll roam. [Verse 3] I led you through the fields Where your fathers roamed With every heartbeat The time always comes My tears flow freely now His long mane wicks my face Duke's heart beats faintly His soul is finally free [Tag] His soul is forever free! His soul is forever free!
