Live Dec, 2021 at Rock Hill Brewing... A lamentation for the cowboy singer-songwriters who died from living their dreams.

lyrics

Ride High in the Wind

In South Carolina
Well, you know the rest
In a burned out motel room
I was wondering if I was the best

In the back of a Caddy
I just want to get some sleep
It’s the last ride I’ll take with this kid
You know he’s just seventeen

And I am a star, and everyone sings
I reach for the sky, and I follow my dreams
I ride high in the wind and just
Chase till I lose it all

Lord, keep me from the needle
Don’t stare while I choke
My heart may give out or
My gun might be ready to blow

A poor grievous angel
Lying long and lean
Once told me the pain was too much
but was just in between

I am a star, and everyone sings
So, I reach for the sky and just burn everything
I don’t know what to do but just
Chase till I lose it all

I am a star, everyone sings
Reach for the sky, be the man of our dreams
Ride high in the wind and
Chase till you lose it all
