Need to ride


He knew I would not kill him

and I knew he was right

I had no other choice

Then to let him take flight


Lean saw the look upon my face

And wondered what had taken place

"Is he?..."


"Gone," I said

I wanted her to think him dead.

Not my Father...

His words echoed in my head.


I placed my gun by my side

I knew it was time to take a ride

Then I looked down the alley

And seen the horse that was

Highride Ali's


I walked on over

Whispered in his ear

He now was mine

He'd let me steer.


"What are you doing?

That horse is not yours!"


"Lean your Brother is at

Death's door!"


"I need a horse that can

Handle 2 not 1

If I don't move fast

your brother's done."


"I need to get going

I have to go far

Unless you're willin'

To give me Six Star?"


She looked away

She made her choice

I did not have to

Hear her voice.


I understood

He was all she had

Now it was time to go

And see my Dad.
