The saddle and an old man
Listen to'em ride
In the saddle is an old man
Soon he'll die
The hero and his tear drop
Drippin from his eye
The hero's got a tear drop
The steel-man cries
The saddle and an old man
drivin' up the range
In the saddle there's an old man
Time won't change
Shakin' in his left hand
A six shot gun
Sweaty in his left hand
One shot, son
The saddle and an old man
On a desperate ride
In the saddle is an old man
And his pride

good thing that left hand was shaky
so he rode that dusty trail another night

Robert...

as I took time
to read the poem...

I sense some real heartache here...

so come and tell
the stories that dwell...

and leave us some
remembrances

and tears....
