Here we are again my old friend   We rode to the ends of the earth and back again   We've seen all and done all that there is to do   Now you're ridin' the sky with the others we knew   Ridin' free like the drifer you are    With your back to the wind      But I have seen you and me with our backs to the wall   We have fought to be free from both sides of the law   Sometimes we're forgiven the chances we take    Most times we're just bending the rules when they break   But this is one ride just you alone have to make    Win, lose or draw      You go it alone my old friend   We could never know how just how it would end   We're just flesh and bone, we break and we bend   It's chiseled in stone, we say our amen    And you go it alone      There once was a time when we knew the trails   Now ahead or behind are fences and rails   We've outlived the lifetime and ran out of room   But every hand finally throws up his hat to the moon   Now the fiddler's just played his last tune   And told his last tale      He said, you go it alone my old friend   We could never know how just how it would end   We're just flesh and bone, we break and we bend   Now it's chiseled in stone, we've said our amen    And you go it alone      You go it alone, you go it alone
