Me and my son were in a tack shop one day, he'd just got a pony for his seventh birthday.    He needed a rig and we found one he liked and I was tryin’ to get the old feller to come down off his price and he said son,   let me give you some cowboy advice      There's a few things a man needs to know    As he travels this trail we call life   Like don't ever eat yellow snow    Or bed down with a tougher mans wife    Get your water upstream from the herd    But the best lesson I've ever learned is      Good saddles ain't cheap   But there're worth every dime    And you'll be glad you've got one    When you're on a long ride    You know a deal and a bargain    Are often misunderstood    Good saddles ain't cheap    Cheap saddles ain't good      Said, you might save yourself a few dollars    Feel pretty smart at the time    But there's nothing that hurts any smarter    Than a galled raw blistered behind    And you're vertebrae’s all out of whack    Not to mention your poor horses back      Good saddles ain't cheap   But there're worth every dime    And you'll be glad you've got one    When you're on a long ride    You know a deal and a bargain    Are often misunderstood    Good saddles ain't cheap    Cheap saddles ain't good      It depends on what you want to spend    But you get what you pay for my friend      Good saddles ain't cheap   But there're worth every dime    And you'll be glad you've got one    When you're on a long ride    You know a deal and a bargain    Are often misunderstood    Good saddles ain't cheap    Cheap saddles ain't good      Good saddles ain't cheap    Cheap saddles ain't good
