Вступление
[Verse]
When I ride the roan mare I'm free
When I ride the roan mare boys I'm free
When I lie awake and sleep won't come cause my babies are gone
You know the night closes in on me
When I ride the bay stud I'm free
When I ride the bay stud boys I'm free
When the mamas bawl in the weaning time cause my babies are gone
You know the world closes in on me
I believe I'm going back to Elko town
I believe I'm going back to Elko town
I'll be standing pat in a brand new hat with my money in my hand
Hope that my old friends come around
When I die, let me go naturally
When I die, I want to go naturally
Because I've travelled this world as a free man
One thing I ask of you
Don't let them put no tubes in me.
