If Heartaches Were Horses

Been in the saddle

Since the sun came up

Roundin' up stray's in

This ole west texas dust

She's been packin' her things

Since I put coffee on

By sundown she'll be gone

Damn this ole gerth

Worn right in two

But a spare lenth of leather

And I'll make it do

Just when I think I've got

Life by the reins

Home ain't sweet home

On the range

If heartaches were horses

And hard times were cattle

I'd ride home at sunset

Sittin' tall in the saddle

If heartaches were horses

And hard times were cattle

And she'd say she loved me

And this cowboy way of life

She'd be right beside me

When we rode home tonight

If heartaches were horses

And hard times were cattle

I'd ride home at sunset

Sittin' tall in the saddle

If heartaches were horses

And hard times were cattle
