Ride Away

Ride away, ride away With a song in your heart, don't look back I don't want you to know how I feel Ride away with a song in your heart For I know that your love can never be real Oh no, little darlin' No, way can I say what your careless lovin' can do Now that you're leavin', you're leavin' a grievin' Heart that you have broken in two It's too late little darlin' for you to atone for a love I thought I once knew I'll hitch up your buckboard and hand you the reins For I know that your love isn't true Now I'm a wrangler and I ride all alone With a shepherd dog here at my side Only he and my pinto and the breezes that blow Know how my broken heart strings are tied Oh, the nights aren't so lonely When the cattle lie down and the doggy's sad eyes look my way They seem to echo the sadness my heart knows And I wonder who is lost more, me or they Ride away with a song in your heart Don't look back, I don't want you to know how I feel Ride away with a song in your heart For I know that your love can never be real Ride away, ride away Your love can never be real
