He spent his days with horses And his nights with Rosalee He spent his pay on whiskey That was made in Tennessee As I was growing up He spent a lot of time with me When I'd ask him about women He'd just grin He said son I know horses Like the back of my hand He said some were born to run Some will stomp you just for fun And some have got the devil in their eyes There's some that you can trust Some will leave you in the dust And the wild ones will shake you up inside But you'll always remember the ride Like him I rode some horses Some were fast and some were slow I've known my share of women I've seen 'em come I've seen 'em go The horses I could handle But the women got me thrown Now I smile when I remember that old man Because he knew more than horses Like the back of his hand He said some were born to run Some will stomp you just for fun And some have got the devil in their eyes There's some that you can trust Some will leave you in the dust And the wild ones will shake you up inside But you'll always remember the ride He said some were born to run Some will stomp you just for fun And some have got the devil in their eyes There's some that you can trust Some will leave you in the dust And the wild ones will shake you up inside But you'll always remember the ride Yeah you'll always remember the ride
