Soldier Blue

(album: Medicine Man - 1990)

Late at night when I'm alone,
I think about the life I've known,
And all the miles that I've left behind me.

With every day that comes to pass,
I gotta try and make it last,
All my dreams are coming back to haunt me.

I live on borrowed time.
I know the reasons why
That I ride on, ride on, I'm the Soldier Blue.
Ride on, ride on, I'm the Soldier Blue.
Well, that's all I can do.

I woke up with the sun today,
Hoping the light would show me the way,
Down the road that's never ending.
Everything I own,
Won't mean nothing when I'm gone,
Here I stand, I don't need defending.

And I've got everything I need, I hear voices telling me
I gotta ride on, ride on, Soldier Blue.
Ride on, ride on, ride on Soldier Blue.
Well, that's all I can do.

Night time comes, I can feel thunder from these driving wheels.
Now I need something to remimd me that a long time ago,
When I was on the run, I found my home in the setting sun.
I gotta ride on, ride on, ride on Soldier Blue.
I gotta ride on, ride on, ride on Soldier Blue.
[Repeat]

Well, it's all that I can do.
