Don't Ever Sell Your Saddle Lyrics - Randy Travis

Daddy shoulda been a preacher man 

'Cause everybody loved to hear him speak 

He didn't always follow his own advice 

But we got a sermon every week 

He'd say trouble always starts as fun 

And broken hearts will always mend 

Tough times don't last, tough people do 

And nothing breaks if it can bend 

CHORUS: 

Don't ever sell your saddle 

Never owe another man 

Watch where you spit on a windy day 

Don't use words you don't understand 

Find the Lord before you need Him 

And never lose your pride 

Don't ever sell your saddle 

'Cause life's a long, long ride

Daddy never ran from anything 

Always took his share of the blame 

Had a heart big enough to fill a valley up 

But hard enough to stop a train 

He said only fight when you have to 

Because there's always a faster gun 

And you'll know a hero from a coward 

When you see which way they run 

CHORUS: 

Don't ever sell your saddle 

Never owe another man 

Watch where you spit on a windy day 

Don't use words you don't understand 

Find the Lord before you need Him 

And never lose your pride 

Don't ever sell your saddle 

'Cause life's a long, long ride

Daddy left me his old saddle 

The day that he passed on 

And these words are etched into my mind 

Just like they were in stone 

CHORUS: 

Don't ever sell your saddle 

Never owe another man 

Watch where you spit on a windy day 

Don't use words you don't understand 

Find the Lord before you need Him 

And never lose your pride 

Don't ever sell your saddle 

'Cause life's a long, long ride 

Don't ever sell your saddle 

'Cause life's a long, long ride
