Lone Rider from Lone Rider by DC Maxwell

Fifteen years I’ve ridden on my own along the trails
I’ve seen mountains high and rivers low and hills that blow like sails
You’d think that after all these years there’d be little that I don’t know
But I’m still surprised to find corners of my heart can still be broke

You’re gone but I carry on
A lone rider in the rain

There’s not a lot about myself that my mouth allows me to speak
But you saw into my inner life with a glance that made me weak
We were born into a world that said its wrong to love a man
Well I’d burn in hell for a thousand years just to hold your calloused hand

You’re gone but I carry on
A lone rider in the rain

Under anyone else’s eyes we would act like we were just friends
You told me one way or another the pretending would have to end
You died alone in a motel room full of whisky and pills
You left a note it said you’d see me again at the end of the trail

You’re gone but I carry on
A lone rider in the rain
