Ride to Independence Lyrics

Ridin' hard to independence, telling my past goodbye

No more cattle, no more fences, chasing an endless sky

When I get there, will she be waiting under the old oak tree

Twenty years and still I wonder, will she remember me

Cause I'm not the man I used to be

Cause I'm not the man I used to be

Took some silver from a train in Texas, branded me all my days

Locked me up in San Antone, thought they could change my ways

But now I'm back, to where I started fighting a winter's breeze

All I ask is one more chance, beggin you darlin' please

Cause I'm not the man I used to be

Cause I'm not the man I used to be

Same ol' song

It won't be long till you're a better man

So now you ride

In shadows hide across the land

Back again in Independence, whisky in my glass

No more cattle, no more fences, all those days are past

It's time for me to write a brand new story, under the prairie sun

So in the morning, I'll take the train, it's time to be movin' on

Cause I'm not the man I used to be

Cause I'm not the man I used to be

Cause I'm not the man I used to be

Cause I'm not the man I used to be
