about

Perhaps all country music is escapism? No? Well, certainly this song suggests it often happens.

lyrics

Blue Ridge Rider

Ken didn’t move for days in a row
Played some games, watched a TV show
He’s feeling plump, his body slow
His mind is drifting to a place no one knows

Goes out of town seeking skies so blue
Walking someplace without a queue
To buy a horse, a saddle too
Following the trail the wind often blew
Out in the mountains he‘s a Blue Ridge rider
Travelling the valley on his horse all alone
Out in the mountains he’s a fearless strider
Until the moment where he hears his phone

There’s always trouble, he is all-alert
The pressure’s rising, he’s just a nerd
Who’s got to fix it, that’s all he should
But now Ken’s drifting where he’s feeling good

Goes out of town…

Ken’s back in office, he hates the smell
Of dust and paper inside his cell
His boss is angry, he’s been so rude
But now he’s drifting where he’s feeling good

Goes out of town…
