Don Edwards - For Them That Lean to Lonesome lyrics

It's all about horses and cattle and men About the country, the work and the pride And places where cowboys who still lean to lonesome Can cinch up their saddles and ride Spring works are the best when the whole world seems blessed The new gra** a-comin' up green The outfit pulls out with a whoop and a shout Each cowboy's a-driftin' a dream The cook comes alive way before five And no one can sleep after that You stir in your nest without nearly 'nough rest As you grab for your boots and your hat 'Cause it's all about horses and cattle and men About the country, the work and the pride And places where cowboys who still lean to lonesome Can cinch up their saddles and ride The boys are all up, they're a-huntin' a cup As the coffee boils ready and hot The moon's hanging low and we're ready to go When the caddy come in at a trot We're saddled and goin' out head of the dawn Big circle but gathered by ten Then it's rope, cut and brand in the smoke of the sand The same way that it's always been And it's all about horses and cattle and men About the country, the work and the pride And places where cowboys who still lean to lonesome Can cinch up their saddles and ride Well you throw out your twine you catch heels every time As the dallies all stack true and straight It's fast and it's fun till the boss hollers "Done!" And the last calfs ducks for the gate And there's blood on your shirt smeared with slobber and dirt For taking your turn on the ground But you're glad that you did and you feel like a kid As the day begins to wind down It's all about horses and cattle and men About the country, the work and the pride And places where cowboys who still lean to lonesome Can cinch up their saddles and ride Headed back for the wagon with rear ends of dragon As the shadows starts stretching out long The camp comes in sight in the fast fadin' light As a coyote tunes up for a song It's beef, beans and bread then you roll out your bed The fire's burnin' down to a glow The night air feels sharp as you crawl in your tarp And there's one thing for sure that you know That it's all about horses and cattle and men About the country, the work and the pride And places where cowboys who still lean to lonesome Can cinch up their saddles and ride It's all about horses and cattle and men About the country, the work and the pride And places where cowboys who still lean to lonesome Can cinch up their saddles and ride
