Chris Ledoux - Thank The Cowboy For A Ride lyrics

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
