[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
[Verse 4]
Oh, and it's all you can do
And all you can say
Is, "I'm done, we'll never make it out alive"
You better shoulder it
Or get over it
'Cause honey, ain't we all been there a few dozen times?
[Chorus]
Oh, but easy now
And onward-bound
There lies ahead
The things to be found
Across the blistering white ivory sand
Beyond the Blue Ridge line
It's somewhere beyond the Blue Ridge line
