Ride Away - Slim Whitman

Ride Away

Ride Away

With a song in your heart

Don’t look back

I don’t want you to know how I feel

Ride Away with a song in your heart

For I know that your love

Can never be real.

Oh no little darlin'

No way can I say what

Your careless lovin' can do

Now that your leavin'

Your leavin' a grievin'

Heart that you have

Broken in two.

Its to late

Little darlin' for you

To atone for a love

I thought I once knew.

I’ll hitch up your buckboard

And hand you the reins

For I know that

Your love isn’t true.

Now I’m a wrangler

And I ride all alone

With a shepherd dog

Here at my side.

Only he and my pinto

And the breezes that

Broken heart strings

Are tied.

Oh the nights aren’t

So lonely when the cattle

Lie down and the doggy’s sad

Eyes look my way.

They seem to echo

The sadness my heart knows

And I wonder who is lost

More me or day.

Ride Away with a song in your heart

Don’t look back I don’t want you

To know how I feel.

Ride Away with a song in your heart

For I know that your love

Can never be real.

Ride Away

Ride Away

Your love can never be real.
