[Intro]

C G C G

[Verse 1]

We rode into battle barebacked and saddled

You took the wound in your side

Dm G

You pulled the sleds and you pulled the wagons

C G C G

You gave 'em somewhere to hide

Now they don't need you and there's no one to feed you

And there's fences where you used to roam

I wish I could gather up all of your brothers

G7 C G C G

And you would just ride me back home

[Chorus]

Ride me back home to a much better place

Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space

Somewhere where they would just leave you alone

C G

Somewhere that you could call home

G7 C G C G

And you would just ride me back home

[Interlude]

C G C G

[Verse 2]

I got a small place up in the foothills

Where green grass is precious as gold

Dm G

I paid a fortune for what little I got here

C G C G

But you know that I'd sell my soul

To have all the mountains, the rivers and valleys

The places where you need to roam

And I would just gather up all of your brothers

G7 C G C G

And you would just ride me back home

[Chorus]

Ride me back home to a much better place

Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space

Somewhere where they would just leave you alone

C G

Somewhere that you could call home

G7 C G

And you would just ride me back home

[Chorus]

Ride me back home to a much better place

Blue skies and sunshine and plenty of space

Somewhere where they would just leave you alone

Somewhere that you could call home

And you would just ride me back home
