Ride Forever Chords by Paul Gross





^DWell I was born up north of Great Slave, 1898,



and I ^Grode near all my life on a ranch near Devil's Gate.



And I've ^Dseen this world about me bend and flip and change.

G

Hey it feels like ^Amrain -- that's a thundercloud.



Well ^DI've been called a coward, but I've seen two World Wars.



And ^GI lost my son Virgil, a Korean reward.



And my ^DLucy died last summer. You ask me if I cry,



Hell, I've shed tears: ^Amall over ^Gthis ground,



they're ^Gfalling from ^Athese blue ^DAlberta skies.





Chorus:





^DWe're gonna ride ^Aforever,



^AmYou can't keep horsemen ^Gin a cage.



Should the angels ^Dcall, well it's ^Amonly then



We'll pull in the ^Greins.







Now they tell me I'm an old man, they tell me I am blind.



They took my driver's license, this house ain't far behind.



I said "Jump back all you big suits, you got something wrong



'cause I ain't gone. No I ain't gone."



I am still breathing, and I still have my pride.



And I have my memories, your life it never dies.



Like the wind that blows in thunder, like the stallion on the fly



I got it all, and I'm standing tall



Underneath these blue Alberta skies.



^chorus



So I say to all you old men: Don't let yourselves get broke.



If you think the world's gone crazy and it's scratching at your throat



it's time to dust off that old saddle and get it on a horse.



Kick up your spurs: we're gonna run like stink



We're gonna tear across these blue Alberta skies.



^chorus
