00:11Rage on his back like a razor's edge, copper coat shining in the sun.
00:15He was born to run the creek bed where the wild dogs come undone.
00:20Three years old and twice his sorrow, he outran the morning train.
00:25Took a bite out of the hollow, came back home through the rain.
00:29When the thunder rolls down off the ridge
00:31He don't flinch, he don't hide
00:33He just plants his paws on the gravel road
00:36And waits for the world outside
00:39That Ridgeback's got my back
00:41When the highway gets too long
00:43Here's the silence in the dark
00:45He's the steady when I'm wrong
00:48He'll trail me through the pines
00:50With that ridge like a crown
00:52Ain't a better friend in Texas
00:54From the mountains to the town
00:57Run, boy, run
00:59Down that dirt road run
01:01Run, boy, run
01:03Till the day is done
01:11He learned to hunt where the bobcats roam
01:13Underneath the pale moonlight
01:15Hit bark at owls and carry home
01:18A raccoon tail on a summer night
01:20The vet said he's too stubborn, wow
01:22I said that's exactly why
01:23He's the truest heart in the whole darn pile
01:26Stands tall when the world goes by
01:28When the whiskey starts to talk too loud
01:31And my fists are set to fly
01:32He steps between the trouble and me
01:35With a low growl in his eyes
01:38That Ridgeback's got my back
01:40When the highway gets too long
01:42Here's the silence in the dark
01:44Here's the steady when I'm wrong
01:46He'll trail me through the pines
01:49With that ridge like a crown
01:51Ain't a better friend in Texas
01:53From the mountains to the town
01:55Run, boy, run
01:57Down that dirt road run
01:59Run, boy, run
02:02Till the day is done
02:13Some day old age will take his stride
02:15And his muzzle will turn gray
02:17But I'll carry him on either side
02:19Till he's rest in the clay
02:22And when I cross that river line
02:24I hope he's waiting there
02:26That Ridgeback loyal every time
02:28Best friend beyond compare
02:30That Ridgeback's got my back
02:32When the highway gets too long
02:35Here's the silence in the dark
02:37Here's the steady when I'm wrong
02:39He'll trail me through the pines
02:41With that ridge like a crown
02:43Ain't a better friend in Texas
02:45From the mountains to the town
02:48Run, boy, run
02:50Down that dirt road run
02:52Run, boy, run
02:54Till the day is done
02:56Run, boy, run
03:00Run, boy, run
03:02Run, boy, run
03:07Run, boy, run
03:09Run, boy, run
03:10Run, boy, run
03:12Run, boy, run
03:12Run, boy, run
03:15Run, boy, run
03:16Run, boy, run
03:16Run, boy, run
03:18Run, boy, run
03:18Run, boy, run
03:18Run, boy, run
03:18Run, boy, run
03:19Run, boy, run
03:19Run, boy, run
