[00:00.00]Old Riders In The Grandstand (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty
[00:07.71]I'm seated in the grandstand at a big-time rodeo
[00:13.02]With my walking stick beside me as I watch the scene below
[00:18.60]There are youngon's ridin' outlaws as I did when young and free
[00:24.09]And I wonder are there many old ex-riders here like me
[00:31.05]The horses they are ridin' couldn't buck to save their hide
[00:36.10]Oh I'd like to see these youngon's on the ones I used to ride
[00:41.53]I've used the likes of spinifex for a night horse on the run
[00:46.86]And brahma bulls like Wadgerra we rode them just for fun
[01:00.68]The saddles they are using are designed to hold you in
[01:05.79]And the halter shanks are silky so as not to hurt your skin
[01:11.30]We rode in flattened Poleans in the days of long ago
[01:16.49]And could have rolled a smoke aboard the likes of Curio
[01:23.55]The steers they use for doggin' are no bigger than a calf
[01:28.60]And the time they take to throw them make us old timers laugh
[01:34.12]We used to scrub big Mickey's twice the size in cattle yards
[01:39.29]Oh but that was many years ago way back when times were hard
[01:53.10]These youngon's dress so lairy in their fancy cowboy suits
[01:58.31]We used to ride in moleskins and a pair of Bluecha boots
[02:03.83]But all our glory's vanished we're forgotten men it seems
[02:08.95]Old riders in the grandstand alone with all our dreams
