[Verse]
Riding through the valley where the dust won’t fade
Sun sinking low, casting long red shade
The law’s on my heels, but the road’s my friend
Every town I leave feels like the end
[Chorus]
Oh, the West was wild, and it’s fading slow
Like a ghost in the wind, where the rivers flow
Freedom’s the price for the life we chose
Red skies remember every tale we wrote
[Verse]
Cards on the table, whiskey in my hand
Brothers turned to shadows in a dying land
Gun smoke lingers, echoes call my name
Every outlaw’s story ends the same
[Chorus]
Oh, the West was wild, and it’s fading slow
Like a ghost in the wind, where the rivers flow
Freedom’s the price for the life we chose
Red skies remember every tale we wrote
[Bridge]
Moonlight on the saddle, silence in the trees
Memories ride with me, carried on the breeze
If tomorrow comes, I’ll face it with a grin
But tonight I’ll ride till the dawn drifts in
[Chorus]
Oh, the West was wild, and it’s fading slow
Like a ghost in the wind, where the rivers flow
Freedom’s the price for the life we chose
Red skies remember every tale we wrote
[Outro]
Ride on, Arthur, ride on,
Till the frontier’s gone.
