You Just Can't See Him From The Road Lyrics - Ed Bruce

Words & Music by 

Ed Bruce, Donnie Blanz & Judith Bruce 

You don't see him much on the big screen anymore 

Kids don't ride along with Roy or Gene 

That ain't really him with all those feathers in his hat 

And some Frenchman's name embroidered on his jeans 

- Chorus - 

He's still out there riding fences 

Still makes a living with his rope 

As long as there's a sunset 

He'll keep riding for the brand 

You just can't see him from the road 

He never learned to two-step, hell, he barely learned to walk 

He's worn a lot of leather off the tree 

He's had one or two good horses he counts among his friends 

And he never drew a breath that wasn't free 

(Repeat Chorus) 

He's tall in the saddle, short on the cash 

The last to quit, the first to buy the beer 

He's a knight in leather armor still living by a code 

That's made him what he's been a hundred years 

(Repeat Chorus)
