Ridin' On
Ridin' On: Triumph Through Trials
Lyrics
I been hangin' on
I have been persevering or enduring.
Hanging on by the skin of my bones
Holding on tenaciously, surviving against the odds.
And I'm ridin' on
I am moving forward with determination.
My ridin' ain't done till the horizon's gone
My journey is not complete until the distant horizon is reached.
I keep breakin' down
I frequently face challenges or obstacles.
This old horse and me got miles in the trunk
Myself and my companion (metaphorically an old horse) have traveled great distances.
But we're riding on
We continue moving forward despite difficulties.
Cause we got to ride till the day is done
We must persist in our journey until the day is over.
Sittin' at the table playin' my last hand
I am at a critical moment, facing a significant challenge.
Cards looked so good I bet bold like a man
I confidently made a bold move, similar to a manly act.
Aces fell like a gavel comin' down
Aces, representing success, fell decisively, leading to a negative outcome.
Wrapped a noose around my neck and drowned
I faced a severe consequence, symbolized by a noose around my neck.
But I'm riding on
Despite challenges, I continue moving forward.
I been hangin' on
I have been enduring for an extended period.
Hangin' on so long
Hanging on persistently for a prolonged duration.
And I'm ridin' on
I am determined to continue my journey.
Riding on through the storm blowin' down
Continuing forward through a metaphorical storm of difficulties.
I keep breakin' down
Despite challenges, I face breakdowns or setbacks.
Saddle's torn and the reigns are wound
Equipment or support is damaged, but I persevere.
But I'm ridin' on
Continuing my journey despite challenges.
Ridin' on till the wind and rain is gone
I persist until the adverse weather conditions are over.
Standing on the Styx, waitin' on the bank
Metaphorically waiting at the Styx, the river marking the boundary between life and death.
Charon sails on up with an outstretched, open hand
Charon, the ferryman of the dead, offers assistance.
I could drop my only coin into his cup
I have a limited resource or opportunity that I hesitate to give up.
But there's no way in the world I'm going to give up
I am determined not to surrender or abandon my journey.
I'm ridin' on
I continue my journey without giving up.
