Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was black as the sky
On a moonless night
Good with horses, never reined 'em too tight
He rode with the best
Hell, he, he rode with me
But got it all wrong in that book of history
[Chorus]
It wasn't cowboys and ponies
It was horses and men
It wasn't school boys and ponies
It was cowtowns and sin
There was blood on the leather
And tears in their eyes
Swore at the devil
And then we went for a ride
That's right
[Verse 2]
We told some tales, he told them best
Real life can always
Use a good stretch
But that don't change
The things we did
'Cause the releast thing was
The life that we lived
[Chorus]
It wasn't cowboys and ponies
It was horses and men
It wasn't school boys and ladies
It was cowtowns and sin
And there was blood on the leather
And tears in her eyes
Swore at the devil
And then went for a ride
That's right
[Verse 3]
More than one kind of pain
More than one kind of theft
And it's bitter as the night that sweet Jesus wept
She stole my heart
And age stole my fire
And they stole my prairie
When they strung up all that wire
[Chorus]
It wasn't, no
Cowboys and ponies
It was horses and men
It was no school boys and ladies
It was cowtowns and sin
And there was blood on the leather
And tears in her eyes
Swore at the devil and went for a ride
[Chorus]
It was no cowboys and ponies
It was horses and men
It was no school boys and ladies
It was cowtowns and sin
And there was blood on the leather
And tears in her eyes
We swore at the devil
And then went for a ride
[Outro]
Swore at the devil and went for a ride
Swore at the devil and went for a ride
Swore at the devil and went for a ride
Swore at the devil and went for a ride
Swore at the devil and I went for a ride
Swore at the devil and I went for a ride
Swore at the devil and went for a ride
Swore at the devil and went for a ride
