Letra de Went for a Ride

He was black as the sky, on a moonless night
Real good with the horses, never reined them too tight
He rode with the best, hell he rode with me
And they got it all wrong in that book of history
It wasn't cowboys and ponies, it was horses and men
It wasn't school boys and ladies, it was cow towns and sin
And there was blood on the leather, and tears in her eyes
We swore at the devil, then went for a ride
We told some tales, but he told them best
Real life can always use a good stretch
But that don't change the things we did
'Cause the truest thing was the life that we lived
It wasn't cowboys and ponies, it was horses and men
It wasn't school boys and ladies, it was cow towns and sin
And there was blood on the leather, and tears in her eyes
We swore at the devil, then went for a ride
There's more than one kind of pain
There's more than one kind of theft
It's bitter as the night sweet Jesus wept
You stole my heart, age stole the fire
And they stole my prairie, when they strung all that wire
It wasn't cowboys and ponies, it was horses and men
It wasn't school boys and ladies, it was cow towns and sin
And there was blood on the leather, and tears in her eyes
We swore at the devil, then went for a ride
We swore at the devil and went for a ride
