Lyrics

I'm going to shoe my horse
Pack up my saddle bags
Put on my pointy boots and
Leave this town
We're going to walk away
All six legs of us
Until we can't be found Lord
Until we can't be found

And as we travel I'll
Pick up the horse manure
So looking back will seem OK
It's clear as rain that
What you leave behind
Can get into your way Lord
It gets into your way

Thank God for mute companions
Wrong turns and saddle sores
Thank God for empty spaces
And lonely places
That I can't ignore

Build myself a fire
Tend it through the night
Watch the stars expire
It's such a lonesome sight

I'm going to sing my
Sad old cowboy songs
To anyone who cares to hear

And when I lay my
Cowboy guitar down
I'll ride into the sun Lord
I'll ride into the sun Lord
I'll ride into the sun
