You Just Can't See Him from the Road

Well, you don't see him much on the big screen anymore

Kids don't ride along with Roy or Gene

And that ain't really him with all those feathers in his hat

And some Frenchman's name embroidered on his jeans

But he's still out there riding fences

Still makes his living with his rope

Long as there's a sunset he'll keep riding for the brand

You just can't see him from the road

He never learned to two step, he barely learned to walk

But he's worn a lot of leather off the tree

He's had one or two good horses

That he counts among his friends

He never drew a breath that wasn't free

But he's still out there riding fences

Still makes his living with his rope

As long as there's a sunset he'll keep riding for the brand

You just can't see him from the road

Well, he's tall in the saddle, short on the cash

The last to quit, the first to buy the beer

He's a knight in leather armor, still living by the code

It's made him what he's been a hundred years

But he's still out there riding fences

Still makes his living with his rope

As long as there's a sunset he'll keep riding for the brand

You just can't see him from the road

As long as there's a sunset he'll keep riding for the brand

You just can't see him from the road
