Lyrics Clint Black

Clint Black

Go It Alone

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
