I never was good at goodbye I couldnt stand to see her cry Lookin out at the river all alone Cody stood behind me like a stone While she said goodbye to the last of the red rock riders She said youll never see the mornin sun One last ride into the sunset One last midnight run We followed tracks down through the canyon To two lame horses theyd abandoned The river shinin neath that ghostwhite Texas moon I could feel the gunfight Knew it was comin soon And I said a prayer for the last of the red rock riders For we might never see the mornin sun One last ride into the sunset One last midnight run I felt the shot ring through the black Cody fell when I looked back In a silhouette against the silver midnight lightnin I pulled the trigger And I stopped the fightin To say goodbye to the last of the red rock riders I knew hed never see the mornin sun One last ride into the sunset One last midnight run I never was good at goodbye
