Chris Ledoux Thank The Cowboy For A Ride Lyrics

Thank The Cowboy For A Ride Lyrics

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







She never fails to say it before they go to bed at night



Well I love you cowboy thank you for the ride
