Good Saddles Ain't Cheap

Good Saddles
Me and my son, were in the tack shop one day
He just got a pony for his 7th birthday
He needed a rig and we found one we liked
And I was trying to get the ole feller to come down off his price
He said, "Son, let me give you some cowboy advice"

There's a few things a man needs to know
As he travels this trail we call life
Like don't ever eat yellow snow
Or bed down with a tougher man's wife
Get your water upstream from the herd
But the best lesson I've ever learned

Good saddles ain't cheap but their worth every dime
And you'll be glad you got one, when you're on a long ride
You know a deal and a bargain, are often misunderstood
Good saddles ain't cheap, cheap saddles ain't good

You might save yourself a few dollars
And feel pretty smart at the time
But there's nothing that hurts any smarter
Than a gaulded raw blistered behind
And your vertebrae is all out of whack
Not to mention the poor horse's back

Good saddles ain't cheap but their worth every dime
And you'll be glad you got one, when you're on a long ride
You know a deal and a bargain, are often misunderstood
Good saddles ain't cheap, cheap saddles ain't good

It depends on what you want to spend
But you get what you pay for my friend

Good saddles ain't cheap but their worth every dime
And you'll be glad you got one, when you're on a long ride
You know a deal and a bargain, are often misunderstood
Good saddles ain't cheap, cheap saddles ain't good

Nah good saddles ain't cheap, cheap saddles ain't good
