(Clay Beaudry) There's a rider in the mountains, there's a candle in the snow
(Pruett Brothers) There's a mother at the window waitin' on her boy to come home
(Marybeth Callan) We may never see the valley, we may never know their names
(Boone Hollister) But a horseman is a horseman, and the heart beats just the sameCHORUS:
(all)
Brothers of the saddle, sisters of the plain
We'll ride with you through the fire, we'll ride with you through the rain
From Nashville down to Talas, one song across the sea
Brothers of the saddle, Irad, ride free
(Darla Kincaid) Send a blanket, send a prayer, send a little if you can
(Jesse Rourke) Every border's just a line drawn by some other man
(Darrell Cobb) Lord, watch over Irad's riders through the long and bitter night
Till the morning comes on the mountain and the valley's full of light
CHORUS:
(all)
Brothers of the saddle, sisters of the plain
We'll ride with you through the fire, we'll ride with you through the rain
From Nashville down to Talas, one song across the sea
Brothers of the saddle, Irad, ride free
CHORUS:
Brothers of the saddle, sisters of the plain
We'll ride with you through the fire, we'll ride with you through the rain
From Nashville down to Talas, one song across the sea
Brothers of the saddle, Irad, ride free
Irad, ride free
