  • We rode into battle barebacked and saddled
    You took the wound in your side
    You pulled the sleds and you pulled the wagons
    You gave 'em somewhere to hide
    Now they don't need you and there's no one to feed you
    And there's fences where you used to roam
    I wish I could gather up all of your brothers
    And you would just ride me back home

    Ride me back home to a much better place
    Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
    Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
    Somewhere that you could call home
    And you would just ride me back home

    I got a small place up in the foothills
    Where green grass is precious as gold
    I paid a fortune for what little I got here
    But you know that I'd sell my soul
    To have all the mountains, the rivers and valleys
    The places where you need to roam
    And I would just gather up all of your brothers
    And you would just ride me back home

    Ride me back home to a much better place
    Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
    Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
    Somewhere that you could call home
    And you would just ride me back home

    Ride me back home to a much better place
    Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space
    Somewhere where they would just leave you alone
    Somewhere that you could call home
    And you would just ride me back home Writer/s: Debby Lynn Throckmorton, Joe Manual, Lucinda Hinton, Sonny Throckmorton
