Saalo's Song Lyrics - Long Journey - Dry Branch Fire Squad

He packed up his guitar 

And drove Wednesday through Sunday 

And sometimes played three shows a day 

The modern lone rider, he dreamed of Ohio 

And his doe-eyed Arabian bay 

And how they'd go racing out on the hillside 

In the cool closing twilight of day 

Old friends together in thunderous freedom 

Just the man and the wind and the bay. 

Well, sometimes they'd ride down by the river 

And the bay always stopped there to drink 

In the still of the evening 

The horse seemed contented 

And the man used the time just to think.

And in the cold winds of winter 

He's drawn to the barn 

By some irresistable force 

With carrots and a blanket 

There's nothing more binding 

Than the love of a man for his horse. 

The call of the highway, how it would beckon 

He kept going back out of course 

And in the deep of the night 

When the miles were the hardest 

He just figured he drove for the horse. 

And in all life's relations one thing stays the same 

Never take more than you will repay 

So we count the score even 

'cause the miles he had driven 

Were for miles that he rode on the bay.

They grew old together, got too old to ride 

But just look at the seeds that they'd sowed 

They'd walk out in the pasture, stand side by side 

And stare off at the hills where they'd growed. 

And of all God's creations here under heaven 

There's many I can't understand 

One beautiful mystery that I at least witnessed 

Was the love of a horse for a man.
