[Verse 1]
DWell I was born up north of Great Slave, 1898,
and I Grode near all my life on a ranch near Devil's Gate.
And I've Dseen this world about me bend and flip and change.
Hey it feels like Arain -- that's a thundercGloud.
Well DI've been called a coward, but I've seen two World Wars.
And GI lost my son Virgil, a Korean reward.
And my DLucy died last summer. You ask me if I cry,
Hell, I'll show you Atears: all over thBmis ground,
they're Gfalling from these Ablue Alberta Dskies.
[Chorus]
DWe're gonna ride forAever,
BmYou can't keep horsemen in a Gcage.
Should the angels Dcall, well it's only Athen
We'll pull in the reiGns.
[Verse 2]
NDow they tell me I'm an old man, they tell me I am blind.
They Gtook my driver's license, this house ain't far behind.
I said "DJump back all you big suits, you got something wrong
'cause I ain't Agone. No I ain't Ggone."
DI am still breathing, and I still have my pride.
GAnd I have my memories, your life it never dies.
Like the Dwind that blows in thunder, like the stallion on the fly
I got it Aall, and I'm standing Bmtall
GUnderneath these Ablue Alberta Dskies.
[Chorus]
DWe're gonna ride forAever,
BmYou can't keep horsemen in a Gcage.
Should the angels Dcall, well it's only Athen
We'll pull in the reiGns.
[Verse 3]
DSo I say to all you old men: Don't let yourselves get broke.
If you Gthink the world's gone crazy and it's scratching at your throat
it'Ds time to dust off that old saddle and get it on a horse.
Kick up your Aspurs: we're gonna run like Bmstink
We're gonna Gtear across these Ablue Alberta Dskies.
[Chorus]
DWe're gonna ride forAever,
BmYou can't keep horsemen in a Gcage.
Should the angels Dcall, well it's only Athen
We'll pull in the reiGns.

[Verse 1]

Well I was born up north of Great Slave, 1898,

and I rode near all my life on a ranch near Devil's Gate.

And I've seen this world about me bend and flip and change.

A G

Hey it feels like rain -- that's a thundercloud.

Well I've been called a coward, but I've seen two World Wars.

And I lost my son Virgil, a Korean reward.

And my Lucy died last summer. You ask me if I cry,

A Bm

Hell, I'll show you tears: all over this ground,

G A D

they're falling from these blue Alberta skies.

[Chorus]

D A

We're gonna ride forever,

Bm G

You can't keep horsemen in a cage.

D A

Should the angels call, well it's only then

We'll pull in the reins.

[Verse 2]

Now they tell me I'm an old man, they tell me I am blind.

They took my driver's license, this house ain't far behind.

I said "Jump back all you big suits, you got something wrong

A G

'cause I ain't gone. No I ain't gone."

I am still breathing, and I still have my pride.

And I have my memories, your life it never dies.

Like the wind that blows in thunder, like the stallion on the fly

A Bm

I got it all, and I'm standing tall

G A D

Underneath these blue Alberta skies.

[Chorus]

D A

We're gonna ride forever,

Bm G

You can't keep horsemen in a cage.

D A

Should the angels call, well it's only then

We'll pull in the reins.

[Verse 3]

So I say to all you old men: Don't let yourselves get broke.

If you think the world's gone crazy and it's scratching at your throat

it's time to dust off that old saddle and get it on a horse.

A Bm

Kick up your spurs: we're gonna run like stink

G A D

We're gonna tear across these blue Alberta skies.

[Chorus]

D A

We're gonna ride forever,

Bm G

You can't keep horsemen in a cage.

D A

Should the angels call, well it's only then

We'll pull in the reins.
