Chris LeDoux - Ten Seconds In The Saddle - 24-Bit Digitally Remastered 04 lyrics

Artist: Chris LeDoux

album: 20 Originals: The Early Years


His Stetson was faded and battered and worn
The stubble of his beard showed flex of gray
His limp was severe 'cause a leg had been torn by a bronc in his rodeo days
He hung 'round the chutes while we waited to mount
With a vague look of longing in his eyes
He spoke very few words, but he made 'em count
He was broken, forgotten, but wise
He said life's is just like ridin' broncs, it's a battle
Then he rolled a cigarette with shaky hands
Son, I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle
For a lifetime of watching from the stands

I noticed the cigarette burns on his vest
And the remnant of a dream left in his eyes
The boys said that he could have well been the best
Had not fate cheated him of his prize
Oh, but I learned a lesson that I'd never known
From this guy who'd been busted so bad
It's better to ride even if you get throwed
Than to wind up just wishing you had
He said life's is just like ridin' broncs, it's a battle
Then he rolled a cigarette with shaky hands
Son, I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle
For a lifetime of watching from the stands
Yes, I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle
For a lifetime of watching from the stands
