Well he was pushing seven she was barely five   He rode up on his broomstick horse and said you wanna ride   His boots made a funny sound cause they were his daddy's size   His hat keep slippin' down below his eyes   And they rode off in the sunset down the sidewalk   She laughed at him every time that he talked   His two front teeth were missin' but he had the cutest smile   She thanked the cowboy for the ride      Well he was seventeen the next time he rode up   She'd never seen inside a pickup truck   Well he was tall and handsome smiling cuter than before   He'd grown up to fit them boots he wore   And they rode off in the sunset down the highway   They took their time gettin' home the back way   Later on in the front porch swing he pulled her by his side   She thanked the cowboy for the ride      Well he loved her like a child she'd always felt the same   So they settled down and hitched their dreams together   And they raised two broomstick cowboys and one little cowboy girl   To know God makes the sunsets of the world      Well he's almost sixty-seven and she'll admit to fourty-nine   He still loves her like a child and she still feels the same   Well he smiles a little slower at the twinkle in her eye   They still saddle up from time to time   And they ride off in the sunset in the evening   Stars as bright as if they'd never seen them      She never fails to say it before they go to bed at night   Well I love you cowboy thank you for the ride
