Well momma would be boiling mad
Every time he'd load up the best two horses he had
Taking the older two kids
Leaving the rest behind
He did it all the time
We'd say
Ride on cowboy
Ride on through
Kick up the dust like you always do
Ride on cowboy
Ride on a long
Ride that trail
Until you get back home
Ride on cowboy
Ride on
She was stubborn as hell
She didn't take a saddle too well
To get a bit in her mouth
You better be stout
And good luck with that mount
But he'd get on her some how
And we would say
Ride on cowboy
Ride on through
Kick up the dust like you always do
Ride on cowboy
Ride on a long
Ride that trail
Until you get back home
Ride on cowboy
Ride on
Well that call came in
The one you never want to get
She was crying so hard
Saying he wasn't going to make it
All I could think
Was
Ride on cowboy
Ride on through
Kick up the dust like you always do
Ride on cowboy
Ride on a long
Ride that trail
Until you get back home
Ride on cowboy
Ride on
Ride on cowboy
Ride on through
them pearly gates like you been dreaming to do
Ride on cowboy
Ride on a long
Ride that trail
Until you get home
Ride on cowboy
Ride on
