Song | Ten Seconds In The Saddle |
Artist | Chris LeDoux |
Album | Cowboy |
作词 : Smith | |
Well I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle | |
For a lifetime of watching from the stands [ guitar ] | |
His Stetson was faded and battered and worn | |
The stubble of his beard showed flex of gray | |
His limp was severe cause a leg had been torn by a bronc in his rodeo days | |
He hung round the chutes while we waited to mount | |
With a vague look of longing in his eyes | |
He spoke very few words but he made 'em count | |
He was broken forgotten but wise | |
He said life's is just like ridin' broncs its a battle | |
Then he rolled a cigarette with shaky hands | |
Son I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle | |
For a lifetime of watching from the stands [ guitar ] | |
I noticed the cigarette burns on his vest | |
And the rembrandt of a dream left in his eyes | |
The boys said he could have well been the best | |
Had not fate cheated him of his prize | |
Oh but I learned a lesson that | |
I'd never known | |
From this guy who'd been busted so bad | |
It's better to ride even if you get throwed | |
Than to wind up just wishing you had | |
He said life's is just like... | |
Yes I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle | |
For a lifetime of watching from the stands |
