"Get Back On That Pony"

"Get Back On That Pony"


Seven years old on a gold palomino I sat up tall with my face to the wind
I'd seen the rodeo cowboys in Reno so I dug in my boot heels and pulled on the reins
And Blaze he took off a running he threw me down off the side
Then my Uncle Jim picked me up once again said get back on that pony and ride
Get back on that pony and ride

So lift up your head boy I know how you're feeling
You say you won't ride with a chance you might lose
You fallen from love and your head is still reeling
Your heart and your pride have been shaken and bruised
And like Blaze she took off a running...

I'm not saying forget what you lost I suppose there's a purpose in pain
What we make of ourselves has a cost
And it's paid every time we take hold of the reins

So dust off your blue jeans get back in the saddle losing's a place to start over again
Gettin' back up there is half of the battle
And love like a pony should race with the wind
And like Blaze it takes off a running...

"Every Time I Roll The Dice"

"Every Time I Roll The Dice"


She got a roof that don't leak
When the rain's pourin' down
She got a place I can sleep
Where I'll be safe and sound

She got a lock on her door
Oh, but I got the key
She don't walk the floor
But she worries about me

Her love has no strings
Shackles or chains
But I'm holdin' on for dear life
It's like rollin' a seven every time I roll the dice

She's got a big oldsmobile
She got a dog that won't bite
She got a heart I can steal
Just like a thief in the night

She got a slow burning fire
She keeps the radio low
But when she gets all inspired
We let the good times roll

"Struggling Years"

"Struggling Years"


We had our fill of old junk cars and unpaid bills
But our love was clear in the struggling years
Up against the world four young boys and our little girl
We fought life's fears in the struggling years
And hard times came easy and so did the tears
Strong were the ties that bound you and I in the struggling years

Time brought success and I always said you'd have the best
But the times we hold dear are the struggling years
And when the kids are grown and startin' out on their own
We'll miss them here and the struggling years
And hard times came easy...
Strong are the ties that bind you and I thank the struggling years

"Even Cowboys Like A Little Rock And Roll"

"Even Cowboys Like A Little Rock And Roll"

Well now cowboys love the ladies they like beans and sour dough
Good horses and hot black coffee and camp fires burnin' low
You know we love that cowboy music but I'll bet you didn't know
That even cowboys like just a little rock and roll

Even cowboys like a little bit of rock and roll
Yeah we all got some boogie woogie in our soul
There's a little bit of Buddy Holly in every cowboy that I know
And even cowboys like a little bit of rock and roll

Now when you're camped out on the prairie and that ole' moon is shinin' bright
And you can hear them cattle bawlin' soft and low
soft and low

There's nothin' like a cowboy song to make it all feel just right
But even cowboys like a little bit of rock and roll

Even cowboys like a little bit of rock and roll
Yeah we all got some boogie woogie in our soul

There's a little bit of ole' Chuck Berry in every cowboy that I know
And even cowboys like a little bit of rock and roll
STEP ON IT!!

Now those old buckaroos are set in their ways and they'll even tell you so
Say they don't like nothin' but them old time cowboy songs

Yeah but I've seen that green grass growin' underneath that winter snow
I'll bet them old cowboys even like a little rock and roll

Even cowboys like a little bit of rock and roll
Yeah we all got some boogie woogie in our soul

There's a little bit of Charlie Daniels in every cowboy that I know
And even cowboys like a little bit of rock and roll

Yeah there's a little long hair in every single cowboy that I know
And even cowboy's like a little bit of rock and roll

"She's Tough"

"She's Tough"


Well I was looking for a little bit more than just another pretty face
Someone who would be strong and true if trouble should come my way
Too many times I been left behind when my back was up against the wall
But now I found someone who ain't gonna run no matter how the dice may fall
She's tough enough to stand by me when it all comes tumblin' down
She's tough enough to steady me when I'm walkin' on shaky ground
When it comes to tenderness buddy that's when she's at her best
And when the goin' gets rough she's tough

She's soft and sweet and she's good to me even when times are bad
She picks me up with a gentle touch anytime I'm feelin' sad
Well don't you know I'll never let her go cause she makes it so plain to see
When love is real it's as stong as steel and hers is all I'll ever need
She's tough enough to stand by me...

And I'm so glad that I'm her man
Cause when the you know what starts to hit the fan
She's tough enough to stand by me...
She's tough enough to stand by me...

"Soft Place To Fall"

"Soft Place To Fall"



I rode off into the sunset the way cowboys always do
But ten miles west of Fort Worth my thoughts ran back to you
I could feel you there beside me taste your tender lips on mine
You know there'll always be another bronc but true love is hard to find
Last night I found a soft place to fall loving arms to ease me down
To a big old feather bed instead of cold hard ground
I still love the rodeo but with you I can have at all
Cause last night I found a soft place to fall

I've run wilder than the horses that I set out to ride
My freedom was the one thing I fought for all my life
But something in your gentle touch took the fight right out of me
I thought love was meant to tie me down but I've never felt so free
Last night I found a soft place...
Cause last night I found a soft place to fall

"For Your Love"


"For Your Love"


For your love I'd rope the moon put it in a blender
Mix up a concoction bound to make you surrender
I'd bite the brand off a buckin' brahma bull
I'd rob me a gin mill then I'd fill the ocean full
I'd take on the army and the her majesty's marines
Your love ain't just the cover it's the whole magazine

For your love I'd stop a freight train single handed
I would straighten out the bends in the Rio Grande
I'd climb up the tower at the TV station
Broadcast my affection to the United Nations
I'd take on the government in Washington DC
Your love ain't just the engine it's a rockin' machine

For your love I'd stop the hands of time
For your love I'd dig a diamond mine
For your love I'd do it all the time
Yes I would.

For your love I'd walk a tight rope wrestle anacondas
Jump a motorcycle over half-a-dozen Hondas
Carve your initials on a forest of bamboo
Paint the Brooklyn Bridge baby pink with a broom
I'd take on the press from Tokyo to Praga
Your love ain't just the hot sauce it's the whole enchilada

For your love I'd stop the hands of time
For your love I'd dig a diamond mine
For your love I'd do it all the time
Day and night

"Wild And Wooly"

"Wild And Wooly"



I've been workin' all week long out in the saddle
I lay my bed roll down at night out on the range
Cussin' dust and heat and fly's and cattle
All this romance can drive a poor cowboy insane
And that lonesome coyote's a howlin' on the prairie
And that big Wyoming moon is shinnin' down
Well it's Saturday night and you know its customary
For a wild and wooly cowboy to ride to town

Well I just got paid and my pockets are full of money
I can't stand no more I can't wait another day
I got to ride to town I gotta see my little green eyed honey
We're going to dance and romance and love the night away
And that lonesome coyote's...
I'm gettin' sick and tired of just sleepin' on the ground
Come on Buck let's go to town

"Powder River Home"

"Powder River Home"



There's a full moon risin' in the prairie sky tonight
Lord it's good to be on my way home.
Over that horizon she keeps the home fires burin' bright
I'm goin' back to my Powder River home.

Where the river winds from the Big Horn's up above
And the clear moon shines on the prairie that I love
It's the closest place to heaven this cowboy's ever known
I'm goin' back to my Powder River home.

Travelin' round the country for a dozen years or more
Funny how your point of view can change
I finally found the rainbow that I've been searchin' for
It's right above my home out on the range.

Where the river winds from the Big Horn's up above
And the clear moon shines on the prairie that I love
It's the closest place to heaven this cowboy's ever known
I'm goin' back to my Powder River home.

I'm goin' back to my Powder River home.

"Cadillac Ranch"

"Cadillac Ranch"


Well the well went dry and the cow did too
And daddy didn’t know what to do
The banker came by the house one day
He said he’s gonna take the farm away
Then mama came up with a plan
My brother and me started up a band
My sister put a sign on the roof
And daddy bought a case of 90 proof

There we called it the Cadillac Ranch
They’re parking cars in the old bean patch
There’s a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

Now the only thing that we raise is cane
You don’t need the sun or rain
Just some neon lights saying some ice cold beer
Keeps everything green around here
Mama takes the cash at the door
My brother and me keep them out on the floor
My sister sets them up at the bar
And daddy kicks back with a big cigar

There we called it the Cadillac Ranch
They’re parking cars in the old bean patch
There’s a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

Well we gave all the cows away
Now the only horns around here today
Are the ones up on the grill
Of a genuine ’59 Coupe Deville

There we called it the Cadillac Ranch
They’re parking cars in the old bean patch
There’s a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

There we called it the Cadillac Ranch
They’re parking cars in the old bean patch
There’s a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
