The Saddle and the Sun

Intro

Hmm

Ooh

Verse 1

Stetson low

Pulling on those leather reins

He leaned into the northern wind

Steady hands for sixty years

Pre-Chorus

Mountain peaks and plains

Rough cattle and summer rain

Tobacco smoke in the late afternoon

Chorus

High in the saddle where the timber grows tall

Built like a rock that never would fall

Kansas gold in his weary eyes

Underneath those wide open skies

Rodeo hero through the canyon sun

Resting now when the work is all done

Post-Chorus

Way back home

Way back home

Verse 2

Eight seconds feels like forever

Iron fences keep the herd moving east

Winning buckles meant everything

Boots on the porch at dawn

Pre-Chorus

Mountain peaks and plains

Rough cattle and summer rain

Tobacco smoke in the late afternoon

Chorus

High in the saddle where the timber grows tall

Built like a rock that never would fall

Kansas gold in his weary eyes

Underneath those wide open skies

Rodeo hero through the canyon sun

Resting now when the work is all done

Bridge

He walked away from the camera

He walked away from the crowd

He walked away with his head held high

One more ride before the night comes in

Chorus

High in the saddle where the timber grows tall

Built like a rock that never would fall

Kansas gold in his weary eyes

Underneath those wide open skies

Rodeo hero through the canyon sun

Resting now when the work is all done

Post-Chorus

Way back home

Way back home

Ooh
