High In The Saddle
[Verse 1]
Ridin’ into Macon, Georgia on a Friday afternoon
Got to find some whiskey, Lord, and I got to find it soon
It’s been two days and that’s just too long
Had me a Southern woman just across that Florida line
I caught her with another man and I didn’t waste no time
I hit the highway and I headed out on my own
And ever since I tasted freedom there’s no way, now
That I’m ever going home

[Chorus]
Ridin’ high in the saddle and low on time
Getting on down to my last dime
Got a feeling everything’s gonna’ be ok
Moving quick and stepping light
I be sleeping by day and travel by night
And living my life the cowboy way
Ridin’ high in the saddle

[Verse 2]
Now, I could use a clean shave and brand new suit of clothes
A home cooked meal would be so good, to me now I suppose
But, if I’m lucky, I’ll just find a place to sleep
If I never settle down and find another love
You won’t catch me crying ‘cause I don’t need that stuff
I learned my lesson, now I don’t get in too deep
I’d rather die along some back road, in the pouring rain
With the boots still on my feet
[Chorus]
Ridin’ high in the saddle and low on time
Getting on down to my last dime
Got a feeling everything’s gonna’ be ok
Moving quick and stepping light
I be sleeping by day and travel by night
And living my life the cowboy way
Ridin’ high in the saddle

[Verse 3]
It ain’t been so easy, people just don’t understand
The daily aggravation of a free born rambling man
Now, I can’t go back to living, the way I did before
Not everybody loves me, some folks try to put me down
And there’s places where they don’t want white trash like me hanging ‘round
But, I just keep on moving, guess I don’t care much, anymore
I’m just living on the highway never knowing what tomorrow holds in store

[Chorus]
Ridin’ high in the saddle and low on time
Getting on down to my last dime
Got a feeling everything’s gonna’ be ok
Moving quick and stepping light
I be sleeping by day and travel by night
And living my life the cowboy way
Ridin’ high in the saddle
