(Chorus)
Ridin’ on the Bentpath Trail
I seen it all before
Ridin’ on the Bentpath Trail
It’s got me comin’ back for more
I seen trees bendin’ where the winds don’t blow
I seen ‘em all stand still
I’ve seen the line that makes the trail
It’s a backwards climb up a downward hill
I’ve ridden from dusk and I’ve ridden through dawn
O’er the hollers and the hills
Sometimes get lost when you ride so long
Sometimes get found when you got no will
(Chorus)
I seen faces smilin’ in the clouds
Seen ‘em cryin’ in the rain
Ridden through the snow in the summer’s air
Seem ’em go for glory and come up lame
I’ve seen the world from the highest peaks
Lost my way in a valley below
But I’ll get back on and ride again
Until I reach my cabin home
(Chorus)
