Lyrics for Song: Ten Seconds In The Saddle
Lyrics for Album: Western Tunesmith / He Rides The Wild Horses [2007]



Well I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle



For a lifetime of watching from the stands



[ guitar ]



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 its 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



[ guitar ]



I noticed the cigarette burns on his vest



And the rembrandt of a dream left in his eyes



The boys said 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...



Yes I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle



For a lifetime of watching from the stands
