Chris Ledoux - Seventeen Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • When he was five years old his mom took him down to the round corral
  • To watch his dad work the young horse they called Smokey man did that horse buck
  • But his old dad just sat up there and rode him like there was nothin' to it
  • Right then the boy gained a whole new respect for the man
  • And from that day on he knew that when he grew up he wanted to be a cowboy
  • Seventeen cowboys' dreams ain't on fixin' fences
  • Once he's seen 'em ride in old Cheyenne
  • Ranch routine and his old man's schemes
  • This ain't where his heart is but you know his daddy understands
  • Noonday comes father and son sit down and eat their dinner
  • Beneath that big Wyoming sky
  • His daddy knows he's gotta let him go the boy can't be a winner
  • If he don't spread his wings and fly
  • And in his mind he's riding bulls down in Las Vegas
  • Soon he'll be on a train that leads to Santa Fe
  • Sweet voice of freedom echoes down the ages calls another cowboy on his way
  • Fencin's done and the morning sun finds him packed and ready
  • Momma kissed his cheek and then she went inside
  • His old man well he shook his hand said son you ride 'em pretty
  • Didn't see the tears that his momma cried
  • And in his mind he's riding...
