I look around me, and I see
folks leading more [bad word] lives than me.
They don't do this for reward,
they are walking in the footsteps of their Lord;
and for themselves, they make no claims
they may die without the world knowing their names.

But they will ride, ride,
home to Jesus, heads held high,
they will ride, ride,
home to Jesus, heads held high,
they will ride, ride,
home to Jesus.

Some good people, will deny
anything that they can't see with their own eye.
They don't walk, in God's light,
they just walk the way they do because it's right.

And they will ride, ride,
home to Jesus, heads held high,
they will ride, ride,
home to Jesus, heads held high,
they will ride, ride,
home to Jesus.

People hear me, who can know (who can know)
if our time on Earth's the soundcheck or the show?
Ask a good man, and there's no doubt
he'll have too much on his mind to work it out.

But he will ride, ride,
home to Jesus, head held high,
he will ride, ride,
home to Jesus, head held high,
he will ride,
home to Jesus, head held high,
he will ride, ride,
home to Jesus.
