G Am
He spent his days with horses and his nights with Rosalee
C D
He spent his pay on whiskey that was made in Tennessee
G Am
As I was growing up he spent a lot of time with me
C D
When I’d ask him about women he'd just grin
C D C D G
He'd say son I know horses like the back of my hand
Chorus:
Em
He'd say some were born to run
Am
Some will stomp you just for fun
C D G
And some have got the devil in their eyes
Em
There's some that you can trust
Am
Some will leave you in the dust
C D
And the wild ones that shake you up inside
C D G
But you'll always remember the ride
Like him I’ve rode some horses
Some were fast and some were slow
I've known my share of women
I've seen them come I’ve seen them go
The horses I could handle but the women got me throw’d
Now i smile when I remember that old man
Because he knew more than horses like the back of his hand
Chorus
