Lyrics
(Oh-ohhh...)
I still hear your cough in that winter barn, father
Tonight, the ground remembers
They dragged you out where the pines bend low
Left you bleeding in the first cold snow
I found your hat, your silver ring
And swore I'd end what they began
The preacher said, "Let mercy stay."
But mercy died with you that day
Ride's done, father โ the last man's down
I chased their shadows through every town
No judge, no jury, just smoke and steel
Now they know how justice feels
(Oh-ohhh...)
I cleaned your boots, set 'em by your grave
Told you each name of the men I gave
One by river, one by flame
Three more fell when I spoke your name
I carried hate like a broken bone
But some debts won't stay unowned
Ride's done, father โ the fire's out
Their last breath blew into dust and doubt
I held your memory through every fight
And brought you peace before the night
(Ohhh-ohhhh...)
Let the lantern glow for you
Let the valley hold you true
I've bled too long for a man grown old
But I kept my vow in the bitter cold
Ride's done, father โ rest now deep
The wolves don't wander where you sleep
The world took much, but I took it backโ
Your name rides proud on a dust-born track
(Oh-ohhh...)
Your coat hangs still, your story's told
You ain't forgotten โ just walking home
