I woke up early just to catch the rise
Then it dawned on me and caught me by surprise
A new day peeking in through the blinds
That could save a wretch like me
I rolled out and rode into town
Tied her up and I let my boots hit the ground
I was ready when the dust finally settled down
That was when I said I'd leave
I'll be riding out at sundown
Against the whisperin' wind
It's all been said and done now
So saddle up my friends
It don't matter where we come from
Or what we might become
I'll be riding out at sundown
Until Thy kingdom come
I'll take the reins and i'll hold on tight
With my eyes dead set on the morning light
There's a cold wind wearin' on my heart tonight
But i'll still wear it on my sleeve
Said I'll be riding out at sundown
Against the whisperin' wind
It's all been said and done now
So saddle up my friends
It don't matter where we come from
Or what we might become
I'll be riding out at sundown
Until Thy kingdom come
Oooh, Lord take the reins and I'll hold on tight, we're going home
With our eyes dead set on the morning light
Now we're riding out at sundown
Against the whisperin' wind
It's all been said and done now
So saddle up my friends
It don't matter where we come from
Or what we might become
We'll be riding out at sundown
Until Thy kingdom come
It don't matter where we come from
Or what we might become
I'll be riding out at sundown
Until Thy kingdom come
I'm riding straight to the pearly gates
It's a long way up, but I've earned a place
There's a new horizon where this world awaits
Oh, redemption set me free
