G5                                  A5 
He spent his days with horses and his nights with Rosalee 
   C5                                 D5 
He spent his pay on whiskey that was made in Tennessee 
   G5                           A5 
As I was growing up he spent a lot of time with me 
         C5                             D5 
When I?d ask him about women he'd just grin 
         C5          D5               C5    D5     G5  
He'd say son I know horses like the back of my hand 

Chorus: 
         E5 
He'd say some were born to run 
          A5 
Some will stomp you just for fun 
    C5                 D5              G5        
And some have got the devil in their eyes 
        E5 
There's some that you can trust 
          A5 
Some will leave you in the dust 
        C5                             D5  
And the wild ones that shake you up inside 
           C5        D5          G5 
But you'll always remember the ride 


Like him I?ve rode some horses 
Some were fast and some were slow 
I've known my share of women  
I've seen them come I?ve seen them go 
The horses I could handle but the women got me throw?d 
Now i smile when I remember that old man 
Because he knew more than horses like the back of his hand
