Come with me, I invite you
On a ride with no brochure,
A fair piece from the asphalt
Where good men still live the lure.

Of rangeland devoid of fences
Grass rollin' towards the sky,
At day's dusk you might call out,
"Do we have to say goodbye?"

Come with me, and I'll saddle
My own horse for you to ride,
The hours you work with this colt
Just might touch you deep inside.

The hollow saved for secrets
In the heart of every man,
'Cause one long day spent horseback
Feels like sitting in God's hand.

Come with me, we'll go ridin'
And to you I'll swear a vow;
You'll join the men who cowboy
That chose not to follow plow.

Through prairie sod to change it
From open range to furrowed crop,
Past the marrow of their bones
Hear them whisper, "Wish they'd stop".

Come with me, daylight's burnin'
This is not my final ride,
I'll show you country ageless
As the ocean's endless tide.

Then while we're sharin' sunset
With our horses heads down low,
'Bout then you're gonna ask me,
"Do I really have to go?"
