Sun bleeds crimson, paintin' the sky Another day done, another day gone by Chrome gleams softly, catches the light My steel horse waits, bathed in the fading light I'm a steel horse cowboy, ridin' through the dust Searchin' for a reason, searchin' for some trust Legends of the highway, whispers in the breeze Echoes of lost heroes, rustlin' through the trees Oh, the road stretches onward, a ribbon of despair But I chase the good in life, a prayer hung in the air Mindful of the moment, peace within my soul Hope's a fragile blossom, takin' its slow toll Love's a fading memory, a ghost of what has been This steel horse keeps on rollin', where do I begin? The miles melt behind me, a blurry, dusty haze Faces in the rearview, lost in yesterday's maze I search for something real, beneath the surface gleam A flicker of redemption, a forgotten, fading dream The summer breeze is warm, but carries a chill A lonely wind is blowin', my heart stands strangely still This chopper's my companion, a metal, faithful friend Until the journey's over, until the very end Oh, the road stretches onward, a ribbon of despair But I chase the good in life, a prayer hung in the air Mindful of the moment, peace within my soul Hope's a fragile blossom, takin' its slow toll Love's a fading memory, a ghost of what has been This steel horse keeps on rollin', where do I begin? Maybe peace is found not in the distance, far away But in the quiet moments, at the closing of the day Steel horse cowboy... ridin' on... ridin' on...
