Saddle Up
A cowboy out on the plains in South Colorado
A Denver girl headin' down south to teach the kids
The flicker of an eye in a western gas station
Led to the local saloon where dancin' and dreamin' begin
Well weeks went by and the cowboy started his courtin'
He'd chop up the wood and got the schoolhouse warm in the mornin'
He bailed a whole field of hay just for one more date
And on the night of the Cuchara dance he could no longer wait
He said
Saddle up the horse and ride off into eternity with me
We'll buy a Chevrolet and follow that old grand highway to the sea
A cabin down in a valley at the base of the Sangres
Our couple now has a third with a fourth on the way
Livin' off the land, the workin' parents hand
Life's tough and it's sweet when your givin' 'er all that'cha can
Saddle up the horse and ride off into eternity with me
We'll buy a Pontiac and follow that old grand highway to the sea
Well the great American dream, aint as sweet as they made it seem
You can't clean out every wound with dirt and warm kerosene
Through richer and through poorer from the rockies to the ocean's shore
We gotta prove our love and forgive each other over and over
Saddle up the horse and ride off into eternity with me
We'll buy a Cadillac and follow that old grand highway to the sea
A Denver girl headin' down south to teach the kids
The flicker of an eye in a western gas station
Led to the local saloon where dancin' and dreamin' begin
Well weeks went by and the cowboy started his courtin'
He'd chop up the wood and got the schoolhouse warm in the mornin'
He bailed a whole field of hay just for one more date
And on the night of the Cuchara dance he could no longer wait
He said
Saddle up the horse and ride off into eternity with me
We'll buy a Chevrolet and follow that old grand highway to the sea
A cabin down in a valley at the base of the Sangres
Our couple now has a third with a fourth on the way
Livin' off the land, the workin' parents hand
Life's tough and it's sweet when your givin' 'er all that'cha can
Saddle up the horse and ride off into eternity with me
We'll buy a Pontiac and follow that old grand highway to the sea
Well the great American dream, aint as sweet as they made it seem
You can't clean out every wound with dirt and warm kerosene
Through richer and through poorer from the rockies to the ocean's shore
We gotta prove our love and forgive each other over and over
Saddle up the horse and ride off into eternity with me
We'll buy a Cadillac and follow that old grand highway to the sea
