Good Horses To Ride (Album Version)

歌詞

Tuck was a cowboy I knew years ago Could put a stretch in a story like a forty foot row Young and wide-eyed I believed every word As he rambled through the canyons and stampeded herds Swore there were still Comanches in them breaks to the south He'd seen good hands ride in there and never rode out He had a horse he called Dollar that twice saved his life He lost him to Jim Shoulders playing poker one night When I turned eighteen I packed up and left home Tuck was pretty old back then and by now he's long gone But I've heard it said that old cowboys don't die They get put out to pasture way up the sky So if God's got a Heaven for old cowboy legends I hope the grass is greener on the other side And he's got good horses to ride Now the folks back home would tell you Tuck was just crazy and old But I still believe in Conquistadore gold And those memories look like a mirage in the distance Staring out from this prison of urban existence So I saddle up and I go back now and then To remember who I was and just forget where I am Now the concrete and steel they spread out like a plague Consuming the rivers the mountains and the plains Then one of these days it'll all be gone But somewhere that spirit will always live on Cause I've heard it said that old cowboys don't die They get put out to pasture way up the sky So if God's got a Heaven for old cowboy legends I hope the grass is greener on the other side And he's got good horses to ride Yeah he's got good horses to ride A few good horses to ride A few good horses to ride
