Go It Alone

Here we are again my old friend
 We rode to the ends of the earth and back again
 We've seen all and done all that there is to do
 Now you're ridin' the sky with the others we knew
 Ridin' free like the drifer you are
 With your back to the wind
 But I have seen you and me with our backs to the wall
 We have fought to be free from both sides of the law
 Sometimes we're forgiven the chances we take
 Most times we're just bending the rules when they break
 But this is one ride just you alone have to make
 Win, lose or draw
 You go it alone my old friend
 We could never know how just how it would end
 We're just flesh and bone, we break and we bend
 It's chiseled in stone, we say our amen
 And you go it alone
 There once was a time when we knew the trails
 Now ahead or behind are fences and rails
 We've outlived the lifetime and ran out of room
 But every hand finally throws up his hat to the moon
 Now the fiddler's just played his last tune
 And told his last tale
 He said, you go it alone my old friend
 We could never know how just how it would end
 We're just flesh and bone, we break and we bend
 Now it's chiseled in stone, we've said our amen
 And you go it alone
 You go it alone, you go it alone
