Well my saddle's on my horse but I ain't goin' nowhere Cause my ridin' days are over and there's vultures in the air Well the trails have been a brother and a devil all in one I'm gonna lay back with my woman throw away my fightin' guns Well I spent many lonely evenings listenin' to the howl of the wolfe Talk about her like a loved one did you ever kiss a horses' hoof They keep puttin' up all them fences to section up the country mile I'm gonna lay back with my woman and take it easy for a while [ banjo ] Yes there's danger on the prairie there's rattlesnakes that bite In every little town you come to there's always a good old fight Well there's nothin' like his and her place I wouldn't say it if I didn't know I'm gonna lay back with my woman and love her sweet country soul Well you see her arms are ready and the kitchen's full of food She's got a smile that's pretty but then it all looks kinda good Can you blame a guy for thinkin' he'd be crazy to hit the trail I'm gonna lay back with my woman and put my horses up for sale I'm gonna lay back with my woman put my horses up for sale
