The Horse I Rode In On
The show was a big one, an olde rodeo They'd been trying to hire us for a few years or so The grandstand was bursting, the infield was full They'd run all the chucks and they'd bucked all the bulls
I felt stiff in the saddle, had been a year since I'd rode And I'd never been on him save an afternoon lope But this was the last thing on my tortured mind As I put heels to belly and my band played the time
He was a big sorrel gelding with a golden streaked mane A silver mounted saddle and hand braided reins He had one blue eye that was clear like the rain But the horse I rode in on felt none of my pain
Well we made quite an entrance in show business style Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And twelve thousand people all witnessed my smile But you were not there among them I'm sorry to say As I rode through the crowd toward the big outdoor stage
If my pony was skittish with all the people around And if he spooked just a little when the spotlight shone down It's nothing compared to the heart break and pain That come with a love that has withered in vain
So we played through the show and like I always do I sang every one of the love songs for you Then I climbed right back on him and I spurred him away And as the cheers and the dust from the arena did fade I didn't feel like no cowboy anymore, anyway
