I've been riding down this track for oh so many years
Along the way I've had my share of happiness and tears
And all those times I rode alone just seemed to cause me pain
But I can leave them all behind ˜cause now you hold the reins

chorus
And only heaven knows just how long this trail will be
So I'll just keep on riding ˜til the sun goes down on me
And when the last light fades away heaven's gates will open wide
And You'll be there to meet me Lord at the end of my ride

There'll be rough roads up ahead and I'll have to face them all
But You'll be there to sit me straight in the saddle and You won't let me fall
This ride I'm on ain't easy but I feel safe and sure
Known' when I reach the end I'm Yours forever more

chorus

And I can't wait to sing with the angels join that heavenly sound
I'll be ready when they call for me ˜cause now I'm homeward bound

chorus

And when the last light fades away heaven's gates will open wide
And You'll be there to meet me Lord at the end of my ride
At the end of my ride
At the end of my ride
At the end of my ride
At the end of my ride
At the end of my ride
