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
|
