Riding For A Fall Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

Last night you told her, you could never hold her 

'Cause a cowboy's just got to be free 

Her heart was breakin', yours was achin' 

But you saddled up to follow your dreams 

Coffee on your campfire, wind through the barbed wire 

You huddle close to the flames 

Though she's far behind you, the night wind reminds you 

It just keeps on whisperin' her name 

You can make a run for the border, try to hide up the hole in the wall 

But don't you know your arms are achin' to hold her 

And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall 

You're riding for a fall 

Midnight the moons up, hands around your tin cup 

The frost settles in on the sage 

The nights gettin' colder, well man you're gettin' older 

Tonight you're feelin' you're age 

But why don't you turn back, just saddle up and backtrack 

You know you'll never find a love quite like hers, you tell me 

On a cold lonesome evenin', what the hell goods your freedom? 

Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs? 

You can make a run for the border, try to hide up the hole in the wall 

But don't you know your arms are achin' to hold her 

And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall 

You're ridin' for a fall, cowboy you're riding for a fall
