D G D
I was 15 I guess and he was born in 1935
D
Most of his life was spent
G D
In boots and spurs breaking colts to ride
A
Retired in a saddle shop
G D A
Just 10 miles down a blacktop road
G
From where I grew up back home
D G
He was an artist with the leather and knives and hammers
D
That stamp those oak leaf swirls
D
He had a cowboy philosophy -
G D
About gold and glory and lonely rodeo girls
A
He’d say ain’t nothing like the setting sun
G D A
On the back of a horse when You let Him run free
G
Take it from Me
D
Enjoy the ride
A
Like it’s Your last
G
Son, this old life
D
Sure goes by fast
D
Sit the saddle tall
A
And if You should fall
G
Ain’t nothing at all
A
Just dust Yourself off
G
Forget Your pride
| D
Enjoy the ride

D
The doctors gave him 6 months
G D
And that was 5 long years ago
D
But He was tougher than dirt
G D
And it was just like Him to not let anybody know
A
The friends and neighbors all gathered round
G D A
Pastor Bill laid Him down to rest
G
The wind whispered from the west
D
Enjoy the ride
A
Like it’s Your last
G
Son, this old life
D
Sure goes by fast
D
Sit the saddle tall
A
And if You should fall
G
It ain’t nothing at all
A
Just dust Yourself off
