'Cause everybody loved to hear him speak
He didn't always follow his own advice
But we got a sermon every week
He'd say trouble always starts as fun
And broken hearts will always mend
Tough times don't last, tough people do
And nothing breaks if it can bend
Chorus:
Don't ever sell your saddle
Never owe another man
Watch where you spit on a windy day
Don't use words you don't understand
Find the Lord before you need him
And never lose your pride
Don't ever sell your saddle
'Cause life's a long, long ride
Daddy never ran from anything
Always took his share of the blame
Had a heart big enough to fill a valley up
But hard enough to stop a train
He said only fight when you have to
'Cause there's always a faster gun
And you'll know a hero from a coward
When you see which way they run
Chorus:
Don't ever sell your saddle
Never owe another man
Watch where you spit on a windy day
Don't use words you don't understand
Find the Lord before you need him
And never lose your pride
Don't ever sell your saddle
'Cause life's a long, long ride
Daddy left me his old saddle
The day that he passed on
And these words are etched into my mind
Just like they were in stone
Chorus:
Don't ever sell your saddle
Never owe another man
Watch where you spit on a windy day
Don't use words you don't understand
Find the Lord before you need him
And never lose your pride
Don't ever sell your saddle
'Cause life's a long, long ride
Don't ever sell your saddle
'Cause life's a long, long ride...
Daddy should'a been a preacher man 'Cause everybody loved to hear him speak He didn't always follow his own advice But we got a sermon every week He'd say trouble always starts as fun And broken hearts will always mend Tough times don't last, tough people do And nothing breaks if it can bend Chorus: Don't ever sell your saddle Never owe another man Watch where you spit on a windy day Don't use words you don't understand Find the Lord before you need him And never lose your pride Don't ever sell your saddle 'Cause life's a long, long ride Daddy never ran from anything Always took his share of the blame Had a heart big enough to fill a valley up But hard enough to stop a train He said only fight when you have to 'Cause there's always a faster gun And you'll know a hero from a coward When you see which way they run Chorus: Don't ever sell your saddle Never owe another man Watch where you spit on a windy day Don't use words you don't understand Find the Lord before you need him And never lose your pride Don't ever sell your saddle 'Cause life's a long, long ride Daddy left me his old saddle The day that he passed on And these words are etched into my mind Just like they were in stone Chorus: Don't ever sell your saddle Never owe another man Watch where you spit on a windy day Don't use words you don't understand Find the Lord before you need him And never lose your pride Don't ever sell your saddle 'Cause life's a long, long ride Don't ever sell your saddle 'Cause life's a long, long ride...
