We played king of the mountain
Out on the end
The world come chargin' up the hill
And we were women and men
Now there's so much that time
Time and memory fade away
We got our own roads to ride
And chances we gotta take
Now the hardness of this world
Slowly grinds your dreams away
Makin' a fool's joke
Out of the promises we make
And what once seemed black and white
Turns to so many shades of gray
We lose ourselves in work to do
Work to do and bills to pay
And it's a ride, ride, ride
And there ain't much cover
With no one runnin' by your side
My blood brother
On through the houses of the dead
Past those fallen in their tracks
Always movin' ahead
And never lookin' back
Now I'm out here on this road
Alone on this road tonight
I close my eyes and feel so many friends around me
In the early evening light
And the miles we have come
And the battles won and lost
Are just so many roads traveled
So many rivers crossed
And I ask God for the strength
And faith in one another
'Cause it's a good night for a ride 'cross this river to the other side
My blood brothers
