It's hard to start over when you've ridden your best
Your first cowboy years with a friend
Forget the sweet clover you'll never ride west
From that ol' Round Corral again
I sattles a Philly, I'm kind of watching her ears
My heart it just isn't all there
Then I eases up on her and bends her hard east
Through the sand rock and the prickly pear
I thinks of Old Stoney where I laid him to rest
Just out west of the breakin' Corral
Where the romped as a foll in the lust mellow gra**
I think of how slowly he fell
It's hard to start over when you've ridden your best
Your first cowboy years with a friend
Forget the sweet clover I'll never ride west
From that ol' Round Corral again
Just a twelve year old kid with a two year old Colt
Great granddad's Macardy and khak
I could see the whole world from where I sat tall
First time up on Stoney Bird's back
The west holds my memories but I keep reignin' east
The sunrise a-risin' feels blessed
Lady Luck let's us ride a good horse now and then
Hey, this Philly sure pa**in' each test
But it's hard to start over when you've ridden your best
Your first cowboy years with a friend
Forget the sweet clover I'll never ride west
From that ol' Round Corral again
It's hard to start over when you've ridden your best
Your first cowboy years with a friend
One more four leafed clover I just might ride west
From this ol' Round Corral again
