Thank The Cowboy For A Ride

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
