You come this way on the high roads and the low roads.
Across the ocean and borders and backyards, across the sky.
You realize there's only one way left to go...
When you're astride in the "Great Cariboo Ride".
CHORUS:
Ever had a feeling, a feeling inside
You should be there?
Riding free with the people,
The people who ride in the sweet air.
Morning's light, campfires bright,
The loon's song pure delight,
When you're astride in the "Great Cariboo Ride".
You know you're friends when your
Horse leans on your shoulder.
The saddle sores, our country's lore,
You walk, your knees bend.
You laugh, you see, like pioneers, you ride with ease...
When you're astride in the "Great Cariboo Ride". (CHORUS)
You go your way on the high roads and the low roads.
Across the ocean and borders and backyards, across the sky.
You know inside all you have to do is close your eyes...
And you're back astride in the "Great Cariboo Ride".
Ride - The Great Cariboo Ride.
