Letra de Went For A Ride

[Verse 1]
He was black as the sky
On a moonless night
He was good with horses
He never reined 'em too tight
He rode with the best
Hell, he rode with me
And they got it all wrong
In that book of history

[Chorus]
It wasn't cowboys and ponies
It was horses and men
It wasn't school boys and ladies
It was cowtowns and sin
And there was blood on the leather
And tears in her eyes
We swore at the devil
And then went for a ride

[Verse 2]
We told some tales
He told them best
Real life can always
Use a good stretch
But that don't change
The things we did
'Cause the truest thing was
The life that we lived

[Chorus]
It wasn't cowboys and ponies
It was horses and men
It wasn't school boys and ladies
It was cowtowns and sin
And there was blood on the leather
And tears in her eyes
We swore at the devil
And then went for a ride

[Verse 3]
More than one kind of pain
More than one kind of theft
And it's bitter as the night
Sweet Jesus wept
She stole my heart
Age stole the fire
And they stole my prairie
When they strung all that wire

[Chorus]
It wasn't cowboys and ponies
It was horses and men
It wasn't school boys and ladies
It was cowtowns and sin
And there was blood on the leather
And tears in her eyes
We swore at the devil
And then went for a ride
Oh, we swore at the devil
And then went for a ride
