Your calves are all branded And your bronce are all rods And the grass has been mowed in the yard And you're sitting there in that old rocking chair Nodding your head and dreaming hard Let me see, was she twenty or was she twenty-one When he met her in Tulsa that day It won't bother your head Cause you'll wake up instead And all you can think of to say We had it all one time We tasted life's sweetest wine Wherever the trail would wind Was all right by me Once this whole world was mine We had it all one time Just any old hill we'd climb Was all right by me Your spurs are all rusty And your boots are all worn And your lace is all wrinkled and lined Now the hall raisin' lights And then Saturday nights Only exist in your mind Life went flying by in the blink of an eye But blowing hot like a wild desert wind It's damn sure been good You wouldn't chance it if you could But you'd sure like to do it again We had it all one time We tasted life's sweetest wine Wherever the trail would wind Was all right by me.
