lyrics

I feel half a world away,
cause I'm a half a world away from you.
I know you don't think of me,
if it's ok, maybe I'll think of you.

Up ahead up over there,
that volcano blew last year in winter.
All the pressure grew and grew,
the desert gave it something to flow into.

Four feet in the desert sand,
it takes all that I can stand to hold on.
If I knew which way was North,
I'd know which way to steer this horse and come home.

When I ride, when I ride, I ride for you.
When I ride, when I ride, I ride for you.
Say the word and I'll be home by morning.
Say the word and I'll be ride home to you.

I've got half a mind to stay but
I've got half a mind to leave tomorrow.
These desert people are so kind,
they don't know I left behind my sorrow.

Four feet in the desert sand,
it takes all that I can stand to hold on.
If I knew which way was North,
I'd know which way to steer this horse and come home.

When I ride, when I ride, I ride for you.
When I ride, when I ride, I ride for you.
Say the word and I'll be home by morning.
Say the word and I'll be ride home to you.
