[Verse 1] Well, you don't see him much on the big screen anymore The kids don't ride along with Roy or Gene And that ain't really him with all those feathers in his hat And some Frenchman's name embroidered on his jeans [Chorus] But he's still out there ridin' fences Still makes his livin' with his rope As long as there's a sunset, he'll keep ridin' for the brand You just can't see him from the road [Verse 2] Well, he never learned to two step - hell, he barely learned to walk But he's worn a lot of leather off the tree He's had one or two good horses that he counts among his friends He never drew a breath that wasn't free [Chorus] But he's still out there ridin' fences
Still makes his livin' with his rope As long as there's a sunset, he'll keep ridin' for the brand You just can't see him from the road [Verse 3] Well, he's tall in the saddle and short on the cash The last to quit, the first to buy the beer Well, he's a knight in leather armor still livin' by the code That's made him what he's been a hundred years [Chorus] But he's still out there ridin' fences Still makes his livin' with his rope As long as there's a sunset, he'll keep ridin' for the brand You just can't see him from the road [Outro] As long as there's a sunset, he'll keep ridin' for the brand You just can't see him from the road
