Ride with Gary Again

from Dirt by Jared Rogerson

lyrics

I pulled over in Boulder for drinks and some fuel/ Nearly five hours since I heard the news/ I bought a Coke for him and a green can for me/ “How do they make it so good and sell it so cheap?”/ Paint horses, saddle mules, and limousine cattle/ And pointers and hound dogs respected his name/ Back then we never knew he’d endure such a battle/ But he finally won his last fight today, now

He’s breakin’ colts up in heaven/ And he’s getting one started for you/ And it might seem long, my long lost friend/ But we’ll ride with Gary again

You can get yourself right out of a horse wreck just as fast as you got yourself in one/ Not ‘til I left home did I realize the value in his simple wisdom/ He taught us when to use spurs or a gentle hand/ And he called you, “Partner,” well, there’s no better brand/ You were born to a hero, so carry on his name/ He’s like a father to me too, and I know today that

He’s breakin’ colts up in heaven/ And he’s getting one started for you/ And it might seem long, my long lost friend/ But we’ll ride with Gary again

I know it’s been years and we’ve gone separate ways/ But, for a friend like you I’m grateful to him everyday

So let’s head for the mountains, the land that heals a heart/ It’s practically heaven, we’re really not far/ We can get way off trail and head up the Divide/ And if I know Gary he’ll be there for the ride, ‘cause

He’s breakin’ colts up in heaven/ And he’s getting one started for you/ And it might seem long, my long lost friend/ But we’ll ride with Gary again

We’ll ride with Gary again
We’ll ride with Gary again
