That long gray beard hung down to his chest
F/C#F#
Ol' long hair was always a mess
BD#m
And the laugh on that man, I'll never forget
C#sus2
You could hear him from a mile away
BD#m
Loved his Pabst Blue Ribbon and his cigarettes
F/C#F#
He'd burn one down, light 'er up again
BD#m
I still see that grin and that ol' H.DC#sus2
He'd roll it like he stole the thing
BC#
You know, I talked to him yesterday... I asked him
ChorusF#
How's that steel horse ride on the streets of gold?
D#m
Does the promised land have any ol' back roads?
B
Ain't a doubt you've done a burnout on a cloud
C#
Knowin' you, you probably laid her down
F#
Have you revved it up while the angels sang?
D#m
Did God get on ya, did He take your wings?
B
You better have 'em back 'fore I get in
C#
'Cause brother, we're gonna ride again
[BREAK]

They say blood makes you related

But loyalty makes you kin

So when I called that man my brother
C#sus2
Well, I meant what I said
BD#m
'Cause we were thick as thieves and we were hell on wheels
F/C#F#
I can't begin to tell ya how it feels

But I speak for us all, man it hurts like hell
C#sus2
We miss your smilin' face
BC#
We'll saddle up again one day... until then
