Remember The Ride

(album: I Thought It Was You - 1991)

He spent his days with horses and his nights with Rosa Lee
He spent his pay on whiskey that was made in Tennessee
As I was growing up he spent a lot of time with me
Once I asked him about women and he just grinned
He said son I know horses like the back of my hand

He said some were born to run
Some will stomp you just for fun
And some have got the devil in their eyes
There's some that you can trust
And some that will leave you in the dust
And the wild ones who shake you up inside
But you'll always remember the ride

Like him I've rode some horses
Some are fast and some are slow
I've known my share of women
I've seen 'em come and I've seen 'em go
The horses I can handle but the womens got me thrown
Now I smile when I remember that old man
Because he knew more than horses like the back of his hand

He said some were born to run
Some will stomp you just for fun
And some have got the devil in their eyes
There's some that you can trust
And some that will leave you in the dust
And the wild ones who shake you up inside
But you'll always remember the ride

He said some were born to run
Some will stomp you just for fun
And some have got the devil in their eyes
There's some that you can trust
And some will leave you in the dust
