about

Part of a batch of lost recordings recently uncovered in the basement of a Sandusky, Ohio warehouse attic, this track is a love letter to riding off into the sunset, grateful for journeys past, anticipating those yet to come."In the Saddle" captures Luke and Chester at their creative zenith before their well documented troubles with back pain and drowsiness began.

lyrics

My pony’s heading west
For a spot I’ll know is best
to lay my weary head down for the night
All the colors in the sky
on the hills are bright
As the purple of the twilight settles in

My thoughts are filled with wonder
for the beauty of this ride
when stars all find their way back to the sky
each one’s a place that I’ve been
someone I left behind
I’ll round them up, one more time
In the saddle when I rise, in the saddle when I rise

I’ve seen the iron horse
Those who plot its course
Hammer in the distance day and night
secrets of this land
mapped by careless hands
Soon will all be sold for silver dimes

The fire’s burning low
Embers ash and smoke
whisper, I close my eyes
It’s time to say goodnight
for in the morning light
a new trail is waiting there for me
