Rider in the Sky
“Riders in the Sky” can have different meanings depending on the context, but most commonly, it's associated with the famous Western song “(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend,” written by Stan Jones in 1948. The phrase "Riders in the Sky" refers to ghostly cowboys who are seen eternally chasing a herd of red-eyed cattle across the sky. It's a cautionary tale with a moral: A cowboy sees these ghost riders and is warned that if he doesn't change his sinful ways, he'll suffer the same fate—condemned to ride forever as a ghost, trying to round up a never-ending, devilish herd.
