Back in the old times in the wild, wild West, a man's best friend was his horse! A collab by Holger Luth and Knud Erik Jensen.
Story behind the song
This is a collab between Holger Luth & Knud Erik Jensen for the CLickers Club Animal Challenge.
Knud Erik had an idea of using horse sounds and gallopping horses as inspiration for our contribution. Also we thought of all the cowboy clichées we could think of for the lyrics. We both played some guitar and bass and I put on the vocals and ended up with this cowboy rock type of a challenge song :)
Lyrics
Riding my horse, into the sunset.
Best darn horse, a man did ever see.
He carried me through deserts, where the sun nearly killed me.
He carried me to safety, when I was on the run.
I patched him up, when he took a bullet.
I always took care of my horse - he's my friend.
Together, we are a team,
like a man/horse machine.
We are truly invincible,
We will ride along through Heaven and Hell.
Once I was wounded, just waiting to die.
My horse woke me up and carried me away.
He found the doctor's house, all by himself.
And banged on the door, to get the doctor out.
I patched him up, when he - took a bullet.
I always took care of my horse - he's my friend.
Together, we are a team,
like a man/horse machine.
We are truly invincible,
We will ride along through Heaven and Hell.
