sonnerie téléphone portable pour All this way for the short ride
Video clip

Well the shute gate swings open
Here we go again.
The desperate dance
The kick and the spin.
Dust rises from a cross-bred bull
Fire meets with pride.
A man come a long way
Just for the short ride.

His wife's in the grandstand
Trying to swallow the fear.
The little baby inside her
Whose time's drawing near.
The bull's flying high now
Then he falls to his side.
Their love's come a long way
Just for the short ride.

Two hearts in the darkness
Sing a blue lullabye.
Beat the drum slowly
For a cowboy's last ride.

When the dust had all settled
And the crowd's disappeared.
The sirens still echo
In an unborn child's ear.
The little boy's due in april
He'll have daddy's blue eyes.
He'll always remember
His father's last ride.

They preached at the service
From john 25.
How christ came a long way
Just for the short ride.

Beat the drum slowly
For a cowboy's last ride.

Well the shute gate swings open
Here we go again.
