Justin McBride - Good Saddles Ain't Cheap lyrics

Me and my son were in a tack shop one day, he'd just got a pony for his seventh birthday. He needed a rig and we found one he liked and I was tryin? to get the old feller to come down off his price and he said son, Let me give you some cowboy advice There's a few things a man needs to know As he travels this trail we call life Like don't ever eat yellow snow Or bed down with a tougher mans wife Get your water upstream from the herd But the best lesson I've ever learned is Good saddles ain't cheap But there're worth every dime And you'll be glad you've got one When you're on a long ride You know a deal and a bargain Are often misunderstood Good saddles ain't cheap Cheap saddles ain't good Said, you might save yourself a few dollars Feel pretty smart at the time But there's nothing that hurts any smarter Than a galled raw blistered behind And you're vertebrae's all out of whack Not to mention your poor horses back Good saddles ain't cheap But there're worth every dime And you'll be glad you've got one When you're on a long ride You know a deal and a bargain Are often misunderstood Good saddles ain't cheap Cheap saddles ain't good It depends on what you want to spend But you get what you pay for my friend Good saddles ain't cheap But there're worth every dime And you'll be glad you've got one When you're on a long ride You know a deal and a bargain Are often misunderstood Good saddles ain't cheap Cheap saddles ain't good Good saddles ain't cheap Cheap saddles ain't good
