Now You Ride With Me
**Now You Ride With Me**
*Now You Ride With Me* is a Texas blues rock song about something stronger than promises — trust that has survived the road.
The journey hasn't been easy. There have been dry wells, empty tanks, hard horizons and enough old scars to make trust come slowly. The narrator has been burned before, and this time words alone aren't enough. Time will have to provide the answer.
And it does.
Somewhere along those difficult miles, uncertainty becomes commitment. “Should I trust you or not?” gives way to “Now you ride with me” — not because the road suddenly became easier, but because someone proved they were willing to stay when it wasn't.
At its heart, *Now You Ride With Me* is about choosing someone after they've earned your trust: if the well runs dry, if the weather turns and if darkness comes, you face it together.
Not a promise that the road will be easy.
A promise that neither of you will have to ride it alone.

Lyrics
We rode through the drought
Boots full of dust
Sun baked the gravel
And the tank ran dry
Your hand on my shoulder
Said hold on tight
Every mile was a question
Every mile was mine
Should I trust you or not
I’ve been burned before
Time will tell, honey
That’s what the road is for
Now you ride with me
No matter what comes
Now you ride with me
Till the last rain comes
If the well runs dry
I’ll still take your hand
We face it together
We face it together
Saw a cracked horizon
And a dead brown field
Then your eyes hit me
Like a buried spring
I drank from your love
Like a river hit stone
Cold on my tongue
And I wasn’t alone
Should I trust you or not
I’ve been burned before
Time will tell, honey
That’s what the road is for
Now you ride with me
No matter what comes
Now you ride with me
Till the last rain comes
If the well runs dry
I’ll still take your hand
We face it together
We face it together
If the sky stays hard
And the wind cuts lean
I’ll keep my word
Like a diamond seam
No more running scared
No more looking back
If the dark comes down
We’ll stand in the gap
Now you ride with me
No matter what comes
Now you ride with me
Till the last rain comes
If the well runs dry
I’ll still take your hand
We face it together
We face it together
Now you ride with me
I’m all in, my friend
Time will tell, honey
But we’ll meet the end
