Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Pulled in the driveway Work boots, tired eyes Little feet run to me Grinning ten feet wide "Got somethin' special, Daddy Been waitin' all day long" Straps in a cardboard box And a crayon-written song [Chorus] Saddle up, Daddy, I'm a ridin' cowboy Giddy-up across the living room rug You’re my big ol’ pony, I’m your little pride and joy Hangin’ on tight in a hug Saddle up, Daddy, don’t you ever grow old We’re chasin’ sunsets round this worn out floor Every “whoa there, partner” worth more than gold (One more ride) Then they’re knockin’ at the bedroom door [Verse 2] He buckles that toy on Over my old flannel shirt Says, "You better watch it, pardner Or you’ll fall into the dirt" I neigh and snort and stumble He laughs so hard he cries Kitchen turns to open range Right before my eyes [Chorus] Saddle up, Daddy, I'm a ridin' cowboy Giddy-up across the living room rug You’re my big ol’ pony, I’m your little pride and joy Hangin’ on tight in a hug Saddle up, Daddy, don’t you ever grow old We’re chasin’ sunsets round this worn out floor Every “whoa there, partner” worth more than gold (One more ride) Then they’re knockin’ at the bedroom door [Bridge] One day those boots’ll fit his feet And mine will sit there by the door But I’ll still hear that tiny voice Say, “C’mon, Daddy, just once more” [Chorus] Saddle up, Daddy, I'm a ridin' cowboy Giddy-up across the living room rug You’re my big ol’ pony, I’m your little pride and joy Hangin’ on tight in a hug Saddle up, Daddy, while the years ride fast Let’s make these miles like we did before Every “whoa there, partner” I wish would last (So giddy-up) As he yells, “Daddy, just one more!”
