I ride my horse alone

In this desert

Wind blowing softly

Dust spreading all over from that wind

Cactuses just standing around everywhere

Tumbleweeds passing by

Looking at how much space there is

Looking at how little there actually is

I remember when I was younger

When I would ride here

With all my friends and their horses

Riding so wildly

Being so free

Out here where we would ride

From every possible way in the west

From the canyons

To the hills

To the buttes

To the mesas

To all the plains

We had so much fun

Especially when we were riding around dusk

Seeing the sun set on us as we ride

Feeling so lively, so proud

Now, I am back here

All by myself

All alone with only my horse left

Out here in this grand, empty desert

Just an old man riding alone

Having no one else left

To ride with me

Just going down the desert

Just going down the west

All alone with just my horse left

Too little fun, too little excitement, too little life

Too, way too much peace for me
