Into the Wind

歌詞

We were out on Lightning Ridge In the center of a storm It was deep into October And I was fightin' to stay warm Stray cattle in the canyon And out on the mountain's edge Ol' Charlie reined up heavy And he turned to me and said: Son this is where you separate The cowboys from the men Hard times have come before And they're gonna come again So you can turn that horse and ride back home And wait until it ends Or just grit your teeth, bow your head And ride into the wind He said it's Man and Mother Nature She tells us who we are The strength to keep on ridin' It's a never-ending war And the right thing's never easy And the good don't always win But it's the memories of days like this That you cherish in the end It's times like these you separate The cowboys from the men Hard times have come before And they're gonna come again So you can turn that horse and ride back home And wait until it ends Or just grit your teeth, bow your head And ride into the wind And as I watched him ride away Headlong into the storm I think I finally figured out what we were ridin' for So I turned up my own collar Pushed down my hat and then I took a deep seat in my saddle And spurred on into the wind It's times like these you separate The cowboys from the men Hard times have come before And they're gonna come again So you can turn that horse and ride back home And wait until it ends Or just grit your teeth, bow your head And ride into the wind
