verse 1 I am an old cowboy I don't ride much no more I came to this valley right after the war and I used to shoe horses and there's some saddles I built and I've rode after cattle all over these hills verse 2 Started out at the pitchfork when I was thirteen Riding young horses riding my dreams and them old hands they taught me all it takes is some nerve just throw a leg over and ride what you ride for all that it's worth Bridge 1 Some folks regret the lives that they lead they stare out the window they yearn to be free I live the life that was given to me and I threw a leg over and rode it for all it was worth Yes I rode it for all it was worth verse 3 I was blue eyed and windburned I was every girl's dream Wild steers on the mountain where the butt brush was green and though some days were dark ones when that old north wind blew I just gathered my reigns and I rode it through verse 4 Time comes creeping to wipe out your tracks but if your trail's been a good one you don't mind looking back Dreams are like horses they roam wild on the earth catch one and ride it for all that it's worth Bridge 2 Some folks regret the lives they lead they stare out the window how they yearn to be free I live the life that was given to me and I threw a leg over and rode it for all it was worth Yes I rode it for all it was worth Outro I am an old cowboy I don't ride much no more
