 DI was 15 I guess  Gand he was born in D1935
 DMost of his life was spent
In Gboots and spurs breaking colts to Dride
RAetired in a saddle shop 
Just G10 miles down a Dblacktop Aroad
From where I grew up back Ghome
He was an Dartist with the leather and knives and Ghammers
That stamp those oak leaf sDwirls
He had a Dcowboy philosophy -
About Ggold and glory and lonely rodeo Dgirls
He’d say Aain’t nothing like the setting sun 
On the Gback of a horse when You Dlet Him run fAree
Take it from GMe
Enjoy the Dride
Like it’s Your Alast
Son, this old lGife 
Sure goes by Dfast
Sit the saddle Dtall
And if You should fAall
Ain’t nothing at aGll
Just dust Yourself Aoff 
Forget Your Gpride
         | D  
Enjoy the ride
... |  G|  D|  G|
 DThe doctors gave him 6 months
 GAnd that was 5 long years aDgo
But He was Dtougher than dirt
And it was just like GHim to not let anybody Dknow
The Afriends and neighbors all gathered round 
PGastor Bill  lDaid Him down to rAest
The wind whispered from the wGest
Enjoy the Dride
Like it’s Your Alast
Son, this old lGife 
Sure goes by Dfast
Sit the saddle Dtall
And if You should fAall
It ain’t nothing at Gall
Just dust Yourself Aoff 
            |  G|  G|  G|  G..

I was 15 I guess and he was born in 1935

Most of his life was spent

G D

In boots and spurs breaking colts to ride

Retired in a saddle shop

G D A

Just 10 miles down a blacktop road

From where I grew up back home

D G

He was an artist with the leather and knives and hammers

That stamp those oak leaf swirls

He had a cowboy philosophy -

G D

About gold and glory and lonely rodeo girls

He’d say ain’t nothing like the setting sun

G D A

On the back of a horse when You let Him run free

Take it from Me

Enjoy the ride

Like it’s Your last

Son, this old life

Sure goes by fast

Sit the saddle tall

And if You should fall

Ain’t nothing at all

Just dust Yourself off

Forget Your pride

Enjoy the ride

G D G

... | | | |

The doctors gave him 6 months

G D

And that was 5 long years ago

But He was tougher than dirt

G D

And it was just like Him to not let anybody know

The friends and neighbors all gathered round

G D A

Pastor Bill laid Him down to rest

The wind whispered from the west

Enjoy the ride

Like it’s Your last

Son, this old life

Sure goes by fast

Sit the saddle tall

And if You should fall

It ain’t nothing at all

Just dust Yourself off
