HIGH IN THE SADDLE

Hey lonesome cowboy, out on the trail
Your two-tone boots that you picked up on sale
Your perfumed cigarettes sure smell like hell
You put your pony up for sale

You're ridin' high on the saddle
You're out brandin' your cattle
You're ridin' high on the saddle

He's a-honky-tonkin' in Reno Nevada
A-hustlin' girls that couldn't look sadder
You wranglin' fool, shoot, what's the matter
Your ridin' high on the saddle

Chorus

Hey, star spangled cowboy in a white Cadillac
You look so good in your ten gallon hat
The Mustang Ranch and a girl like that
You're riding high on the saddle
You're out branding your cattle...

Solo

Hey lonesome cowboy, out on the trail
Your two-tone boots that you picked up on sale
Your perfumed cigarettes sure smell like hell
You put your pony up for sale

Chorus

Hey cocaine cowboy your jeans are too tight
Your guns got jammed with that girl last night
Blame it on the whiskey, yeah...that's all-right
You're ridin' high on the saddle
You're out brandin' your cattle
You're ridin' high on the saddle
You're out brandin' your cattle
(tag) You're ridin' high on the saddle.
