Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sunset laid a gold edge
On his worn-out hat
She stood by the fence line
With a saddle on her back
His hands were shaking
But he gave one last pat
Said, “Girl, let’s go easy”
And she knew what that meant
[Chorus]
One last ride home
One last ride home
Through the cold red dusk
Where the fences fold low
One last ride home
One last ride home
If he can’t walk on
She won’t let him go
[Verse 2]
They crossed the dry creek
By the cottonwood bend
Past the old oak stump
Where they buried old friends
His boots dragged slow
On the trail they knew then
And she carried his silence
Like a prayer in the wind
[Chorus]
One last ride home
One last ride home
Through the cold red dusk
Where the fences fold low
One last ride home
One last ride home
If he can’t walk on
She won’t let him go
[Bridge]
When the moon pulled up
He laid against her neck
He said, “You’ve been my shelter
You’ve been all I had left”
She nuzzled his shoulder
Like she understood death
Then they moved as one shadow
Past the split-rail and west
[Final Chorus]
One last ride home
One last ride home
Through the cold red dusk
Where the fences fold low
One last ride home
One last ride home
He’s goin’ where the good ones go
And she knows, and she knows
