Ten Seconds In The Saddle Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

Well I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle 

For a lifetime of watching from the stands 

[ guitar ] 

His Stetson was faded and battered and worn 

The stubble of his beard showed flex of gray 

His limp was severe cause a leg had been torn by a bronc in his rodeo days 

He hung round the chutes while we waited to mount 

With a vague look of longing in his eyes 

He spoke very few words but he made 'em count 

He was broken forgotten but wise 

He said life's is just like ridin' broncs its a battle 

Then he rolled a cigarette with shaky hands 

Son I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle 

For a lifetime of watching from the stands 

[ guitar ] 

I noticed the cigarette burns on his vest 

And the rembrandt of a dream left in his eyes 

The boys said he could have well been the best 

Had not fate cheated him of his prize 

Oh but I learned a lesson that I'd never known 

From this guy who'd been busted so bad 

It's better to ride even if you get throwed 

Than to wind up just wishing you had 

He said life's is just like... 

Yes I'll gladly take ten seconds in the saddle 

For a lifetime of watching from the stands
