Turnpike Troubadours – The Rut Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Early fall descended on the dry back country aspen
It could be any time now that the bulls start bugling

I watch the pack mule panniers,
see the loads are riding even
Is it in my mind or did I finally hear one sing?

[Verse 2]
It’s been ten years since I first came the with my father
half pound in each saddle in both my eyes
I don’t miss the liquor or anything it
But the temporary shelter was a welcome compromise

[Chorus]
friend,
I’m ride out the I’m in
an prayer

out for even
I’ve back the they’re there

[Verse 3]
The bull had in tight
was screaming in dark timber

I could see his brown hear him breathing will
tomorrow full I just lived in the moment
Hunted back toward camp for enough grouse make a meal

[Chorus]
friend,
I’m ride out the I’m in
an prayer

out for even
I’ve back the they’re there

friend,
I’m ride out the I’m in
an prayer

out for even
I’ve back the they’re there
