Need to ride
He knew I would not kill him
and I knew he was right
I had no other choice
Then to let him take flight
Lean saw the look upon my face
And wondered what had taken place
"Is he?..."
"Gone," I said
I wanted her to think him dead.
Not my Father...
His words echoed in my head.
I placed my gun by my side
I knew it was time to take a ride
Then I looked down the alley
And seen the horse that was
Highride Ali's
I walked on over
Whispered in his ear
He now was mine
He'd let me steer.
"What are you doing?
That horse is not yours!"
"Lean your Brother is at
Death's door!"
"I need a horse that can
Handle 2 not 1
If I don't move fast
your brother's done."
"I need to get going
I have to go far
Unless you're willin'
To give me Six Star?"
She looked away
She made her choice
I did not have to
Hear her voice.
I understood
He was all she had
Now it was time to go
And see my Dad.
