Well he was pushing seven she was barely five |
|
He rode up on his broomstick horse and said you wanna ride |
|
His boots made a funny sound cause they were his daddy's size |
|
His hat keep slippin' down below his eyes |
|
And they rode off in the sunset down the sidewalk |
|
She laughed at him every time that he talked |
|
His two front teeth were missin' but he had the cutest smile |
|
She thanked the cowboy for the ride |
|
Well he was seventeen the next time he rode up |
|
She'd never seen inside a pickup truck |
|
Well he was tall and handsome smiling cuter than before |
|
He'd grown up to fit them boots he wore |
|
And they rode off in the sunset down the highway |
|
They took their time gettin' home the back way |
|
Later on in the front porch swing he pulled her by his side |
|
She thanked the cowboy for the ride |
|
Well he loved her like a child she'd always felt the same |
|
So they settled down and hitched their dreams together |
|
And they raised two broomstick cowboys and one little cowboy girl |
|
To know God makes the sunsets of the world |
|
Well he's almost sixty-seven and she'll admit to fourty-nine |
|
He still loves her like a child and she still feels the same |
|
Well he smiles a little slower at the twinkle in her eye |
|
They still saddle up from time to time |
|
And they ride off in the sunset in the evening |
|
Stars as bright as if they'd never seen them |
|
She never fails to say it before they go to bed at night |
|
Well I love you cowboy thank you for the ride |
