Well, my saddle's on my horse
But I ain't going nowhere
Cause my riding 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 fighting guns
Well, I spent many lonely evenings
Listening to the howl of the wolf
Talk about her like a loving
Did you ever kiss a horses' hoof?
They keep putting 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
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 nothing like this 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 thinking
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
