Well I was riding my white horse along the trail over the hill
The wind raised the red sand and the sight became dim
Let me hope for the sunlight
Returning on my dusty way home
Travelling for thousand miles and more
I saw you in the darkness you were standing under the moonlight
The gun held your cowboy hat and the spurs were shining bright
Let me hope for the sunrise
Searching for a piece of your gold
Wild blue eyes of an outlaw man abroad
How far is your frontier side?
Holy freedom, Holy freedom for… Western eyes
I'm searching for the gold, I’m searching for the fight
Here in this wild place where the earth meets the sky
Let me hope for the sunlight
Waiting for the shine bright of your gold
Holy freedom for a man who walks alone
I saw you in the darkness you were standing under the moonlight
The gun held your cowboy hat and the spurs were shining bright
Let me hope for the sunrise
Searching for a piece of your gold
Wild blue eyes of an outlaw man abroad
CHORUS
Well I was riding my white horse along the trail over the hill
The wind raised the red sand and the sight became dim
Let me hope for the sunlight
Returning on my dusty way home
Travelling for thousand miles and more
I saw you in the darkness you were standing under the moonlight
The gun held your cowboy hat and the spurs were shining bright
Let me hope for the sunrise
Searching for a piece of your gold
Wild blue eyes of an outlaw man abroad
