Letra de
Ten Seconds In The Saddle

His Stetson was faded and battered and worn
The stubble of his beard showed flecks of gray
His limp was severe ?cause a leg had been torn
By a bronc, in his rodeo days
He hung round the chutes while we waited to mount
With a vague look of longing in his eyes
He spoke very few words but he made ''em count
He was broken, for- -gotten but wise
Chorus
He said life''s is just like ridin'' broncs its a battle
Then he rolled a cigarette with shaky hands
See son I''d gladly take ten seconds in the saddle
For a lifetime of watching from the stands
Instrumental: Same as at the start
I noticed the cigarette burns on his vest
And the remnants of a dream left in his eyes
The boys said that he could have well been the best
Had not fate, cheated him, of his prize
Ah but I learned a lesson, that I''d never known
It''s better to ride even if you get throwed
Than to wind up, just wishing you had
Chorus
He said life''s is just like ridin'' broncs its a battle
Then he rolled a cigarette with shaky hands
See son I''d gladly take ten seconds in the saddle
For a lifetime of watching from the stands
