[intro]
[slow bass guitar pick]
Late nights and early mornings
Long drives ignoring the warnings
Long discussions about the future
Coffee and Red Bull as a booster
My best friend and my brother
This is a life like no other
[tempo speeds up]
[verse 1]
Growing up on ranches and rodeos
We lived the dream and had it all
Our saddle and a running car
What else could two young cowboys need
Our ambition and our passion
To ride horses and chase dreams
We had the talent and the drive
[chorus]
Open roads big pastures and good horses
We covered them all had no remorses
We were not just best friends
We were travel partners
[verse 2]
They say time flys when you have fun
We rode em all with a smartass grin
Coaching each other pushing to win
Not just for money or to say we did
We had a fire the burned from within
The need for adrenaline and purpose
At the end of each ride ready for the next to begin
[chorus]
Open roads big pastures and good horses
We covered them all had no remorses
We were not just best friends
We were travel partners
[verse 3]
We’ve lost touch starting our lives
Raising kids and making knives
Now we’re retired broken and old
Never did end up winning the gold
But we carry ourselves with pride
We were always in it for the ride
We kept the western tradition alive
[chorus]
Open roads big pastures and good horses
We covered them all had no remorses
We were not just best friends
We were travel partners
[guitar solo]
