Riding Alone - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

She saved him from whiskey

Was his constant companion

You’d see them out riding at dawn

She gave him his reasons

To shoulder the seasons

Now when you see him

He’s riding alone

She’d lay down beside him

To touch him or guide him

Turn 'round his head

On the darkest of days

He still sits beside her

Remembers her smiling

Whispers to her

That old song he would play

Please lay down beside me

How I love you

Never wanted to bid this adieu

No red river ever ran deeper

Than this old cowboy’s love

Than this cowboy’s love that runs true
