Been in the saddle since the sun came up Rounding up strays in, this ol; West Texas dust She's been packing her things since I put coffee on By sundown she'll be gone Damn this ol' girth, worn right in two But a spare length of leather and I'll make it do Just when I think I've got life by the reins Home ain't sweet home on the range If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle
I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle And she'd say she loved me and this cowboy way of life She'd be right beside me when we rode home tonight If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle
