Well you don't see him much on the big screen anymore The kids don't ride along with roy or gene And that ain't really him with all those feathers in his hat And some frenchman's name embroidered on his jeans Chorus: But he's still out there ridin' fences Still makes his livin' with his rope As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand You just can't see him from the road Well he never learned to two step hell he barely learned to walk But he's worn a lot of leather off the tree He's had one or two good horses that he counts among his friends He never drew a breath that wasn't free Repeat chorus: Well he's tall in the saddle short on the cash The last to quit the first to buy the beer Well he's a knight in leather armor still livin' by the code That's made him what he's been a hundred years Repeat chorus: As long as there's a sunset he'll keep ridin' for the brand You just can't see him from the road
