Thank The Cowboy For A Ride Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

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
