Good Ride Cowboy - Garth Brooks
Another week and more new Garth Brooks music! 
A few weeks back I hear Who’ll Stop the Rain and now when I turn on the radio I hear Good Ride Cowboy!
Good Ride Cowboy is actually a single this time. Written about Garth’s good friend Chris Ledoux, it’s a tribute to Chris’ life. I guess the new song is the first single from the new box set. Humm does that mean we’ll get a few new Garth singles? And what’s so great about this box set? Only time will tell.
Kind of bummed about the WalMart deal though. It means that iTunes won’t have it. 
So when can I get a copy of this song? I want to download it today! Does anyone have it? Want to share? 
YAY!!! i’m so excited to hear garth back on the radio! i heard also that included in the box set would be, not exactlly new, but some previously unreleased songs. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE GOOD RIDE COWBOY! i hope that this could lead to more new music, possibly and album, or even some tour dates!

Good Ride Cowboy
words by: Richie Brown, Jerrod Niemann, Brian Kennedy and Bob Doyle
EMI Blackwood Music / Songs of Sea Gayle / First Wind Music, BMI / The Old Professor’s Music / Major Bob Music, ASCAP
From the hills of Kaycee, Wyoming
Where life’s wooly and wild
There’s a Navy brat in a cowboy hat
And that Copenhagen smile
And from buckin’ broncs to honky tonks
He always sang a cowboy’s song
We were much too young, havin’ too much fun
As we all sang along
We sang Life’s a Highway
There’s only one way you’re gonna get through it
When she starts to twist be more like Chris
Pull your hat down tight
And just LeDoux it!
When that whistle blows
And that crowd explodes
And them pickup men are at your side
They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride
From gold buckles to gold records
Once again he was spinnin’ ’round
Took the whole world on
And he turned us on to that Western Underground
And from Bareback Jack to This Cowboy’s Hat
The songs were stronger than his pain
He would not slow down from town to town
Like children running thru the rain
We sang Life’s a Highway
There’s only one way you’re gonna get through it
When she starts to twist be more like Chris
Pull your hat down tight
And just LeDoux it!
When that whistle blows
And that crowd explodes
And them pickup men are at your side
They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride
We sang Life’s a Highway
There’s only one way you’re gonna get through it
When she starts to twist be more like Chris
Pull your hat down tight
And just LeDoux it!
When that whistle blows
And that crowd explodes
And them pickup men are at your side
They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride
When we cross that river Jordan,
With St Peter on the other side
Singin’ Good Ride Cowboy, Good Ride!
Say Good Ride Cowboy, Good Ride!

I SCREAMED when I heard the song, I am an almost 40 year old mom, and I just could not believe I was hearing Garth
on the radio again. I love this song, love Garth; there’s been a void since he “retired”, I hope he sees with the
release of his song how much he is loved and missed!

I heard the song a few days ago after hopping into my car and catching the middle of it…it took three seconds to realize it was a new Garth tune, which really made me happy. The last time something like this happened (not knowing there was a new one out there) was the release of Beer Run, and I can still tell you exactly where I was when it first came on the radio (in my car, of course).
Heard it again today and decided to google it for some more info…imagine my surprise when you site came up.
—–
Somebody asked about a new album and tour dates…you’ll have to wait until 2015. Garth has firmly said he won’t reevaluate his decision to come back full-time until his youngest daughter graduates from high-school, which is then. Even then he may not come back. Hopefully he does.

As the webmaster of the above link, Garth and his songwriters profusely do not agree to direct linking or file sharing of
music. As such the link is now dead. You can not get the file fromt he link any longer.
However the song does still play when you do go to Richie Brown’s website and listen from there.
As for Garth … you have a chance to see him on TV quite a bit starting this weekend on GAC’s Grand Ole Opry Live when he comes to Nashville to help celebrate the opry’s 80th birthday. He will also be at the CMA Awards in New York on November 22nd. And possibly on Jay Leno as well once the album comes out.

I’m a long time Garth fan, and after discovering Chris his Live cd has not left my changer to this day. I was happy to see Garth do the lifetime award(or whatever it was) in chris’s memory not long. Its nice to know he’s still around out there.

It really would be nice to get out country music out of this “pop/hiphop” slump….so sick of big and rich and cowboy troy
and all these guys that have nothing to sing about and no emotion or enthusiasm to show it. Good to hear something new

I went to the richiebrown website. “Good Ride Cowboy” still plays, but no download. I listened to a couple of the songs there, and would not be surprised to hear them later.

Why do we have to bash anyone at all? I personally love Cowboy Troy, Big & Rich, and Garth–they all have different music, but its all good music, and expressions of each individual artist. As much as I like where country music is going right now, it is soooo good to hear a cowboy song again. Nobody does it like Garth, and no one ever will.

I’m so glad that garth is back on the radio. I love this new song. And even though he’s been gone for a while he still has the same energy as always. I love this new song. It too has a lot of energy to it.

Garth is great, but Chris was the King. He taught Garth everything he knows about a dynamic show. I almost drove of the rode when I heard Garth singin’ about Chris Ledoux! He was the last of the REAL cowboy entertainers. LONG LIVE CHRIS LEDOUX!!!!

I saw Chris’s last show, and it was unreal. To think the man was only months from death, and still willing to go out and put on that kind of show shows just how much he loved his job, lifestyle, and fans. A great great man, who will be missed forever.

I heard the “new” version of “Good Ride Cowboy” on the radio this morning - where he changed “Navy brat” to “Air Force brat.” Since I’m a retired AF guy I think it was all the song needed to be perfect

New version, I guess Chris’s dad was Career Air Force, not Navy.
I think his dad was a pilot stationed in Biloxi, Mississippi
- Ez December 30th, 2005 at 1:24 pm
I like Garth. Chris, however, got me listening to country. I used to dislike country and I taught myself “Paint Me Back In Wyoming”, just because I thought it was such a tear-jerker. Years went by and eventually I found myself missing the song…. I tried to look it up and found that the artist to be one “LeDoux”. I started buying a couple of CDs and guess what! Now my kids are laughing at this one danish guy (well.. me) listening to country and wearing a cowboy hat (rarely seen in this country). Garth is cool. Chris rocked… I still know the lyrics to “Paint me back”.

Born and raised in Oklahoma, my claim to fame is that I was a college classmate of Garth Brooks. Yes, for three years, he was just another guy sitting through classes with me at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater. You can read more about it at my blog: http://www.bobmccartyhumor.blogspot.com.

Garth Brooks is probably the best country music singer ever. Just to let you all know Garth retired in 2002 and the only reason he done Good Ride Cowboy is in honor of Chris Ledoux. I have the box set that he put out and in the dvd that is in that set he said nothing of coming back into the music biz. Sorry to let you guys down but he is retired and thats it.

Garth Brooks is one of the greatest country singers ever! I know he is getting old but he is still highly listen to. I love the fact that even though he is retired his songs still live on the radio.
