#TallInTheSaddle (When I Ride)

Tall In the Saddle (When I Ride)
I might look tired,
But I am tall in the saddle when I ride.
Even though I am used,
Baby you know I aint used up.
Livin’ a life of hotels, highways
My name in a song but I am getting along.
Left the mitten for Montgomery,
Spent a night in jail in Nashville Tennessee.
They weren’t the first ones to try,
And even they couldn’t hang on to me.
Last, I heard they were still on the hunt,
For Curtis Lee.
Took some rest over in Savannah by the sea,
Might have taken a wife, but she was the same
And there aint no changing me.
I’m the same damn fool,
I am always gonna be.
I’ve left loves that I don’t remember,
But there is one that echoes through my mind.
Sweet Mary down in Montgomery,
Hell, she wasn’t sweet anyway.
Looking back I can’t remember why,
I ever missed her at all.
I might look tired,
But I am tall in the saddle when I ride.
Even though I am used,
Baby you know I aint used up.
It’s not the life that I wanted,
It’s just the only one that desired me.
I guess I’ll go to where I’m wanted,
Back to where I belong.
I might look tired,
But I am tall in the saddle when I ride.
Even though I am used,
Baby you know I aint used up.
Lovers with forgotten faces,
Whiskey nights and cocaine places.
Living the life of hotels, highways, my name in a song,
But I’m getting along.
Yeah, I’m getting along.
