[Verse 1]
Goodbye, for now, my friend
How soon we have come to an end
In this short stretch of time
We've shared this old ride
And I sure do hope to see you again

[Verse 2]
In a way, this old world has been cruel
Like raindrops, tears are falling to form a pool
And you try, and you try, still there's no escapin' from
Days gone by, the hardest
I think of you

[Chorus]
Oh, but easy now
And onward-bound
There lies ahead
Things to be found
Across the blistering white ivory sand
Beyond the Blue Ridge line

[Verse 3]
Somedays I just wanna disappear
Come back in the mornin' smellin' of smoke and beer
Ride off in the saddle on a horse named "See Ya Next Year"
And kiss all my worries goodbye
