Story behind the song
I've spent a lot of time in tall, mountain country. When a packer's horse goes down, he's faced with the heartbreak of leaving his best friend behind.
Lyrics
Midnight Boy Verse I The dirt won?t dig too far down, Can?t sink a shovel in the cold hard ground. Said goodbye to my old friend, I never thought this ride would end. Instrumental Verse II All along the great divide, Daybreak in the morning, Out late every night. Tough miles to go, and work to do. A cowboy?s nothing without the likes of you. Chorus: Midnight Boy, say goodbye. I?m gonna leave you on this mountainside. So close your eyes, and see the deep blue sky. And the Good Lord to take you on a quiet ride. Verse III It?s time to follow your bright star. A brand new trail, sure to take you far. Off with your saddle, And the reins. Now you run wild all across the plains. Chorus

How's it going Kevin! I can clearly hear why this gently sang tune was #1 hear on soundclick. A very good listen. Your mandolin breezes through along that mountain.

This song is well worth the extra time you put into it! Excellant heart felt song! The only way to understand how a horse can be a best friend. is to own one or spend a lot of time around them. Great job. 5 stars Spiritwind pop
