[Verse] Out in the desert where the sun don't set A lone cowboy rides with no regrets Dust clouds rise with each step he takes Chasing twilight 'fore the dawn awakes [Verse 2] His hat tipped low shadow on his face A thousand miles from any friendly place Echoes of coyotes howl in the night Stars his blanket moon his only light [Chorus] Lone rider lone rider Heart of grit and fire A wanderer with no end in sight On roads that stretch beyond the light [Verse 3] The sheriff's badge left far behind Wanted signs for crimes undefined His six-shooter sings a deadly song Guided by right when all feels wrong [Bridge] A whiskey bottle clinks in his saddlebag Memories haunt as dreams begin to sag Yet he rides on against the wind Searching for peace he'll never mend [Chorus] Lone rider lone rider Heart of grit and fire A wanderer with no end in sight On roads that stretch beyond the light
