He spent his days with horses   And his nights with Rosalee   He spent his pay on whiskey   That was made in Tennessee      As I was growing up   He spent a lot of time with me   When I'd ask him about women   He'd just grin      He said, "Son I know horses   Like the back of my hand"      He said, "Some were born to run   Some will stomp, you just for fun   And some have got the devil   In their eyes"      "There's some that you can trust   Some will leave you in the dust   And the wild ones will shake you up inside   But you'll always remember the ride"      Like him I rode some horses   Some were fast and some were slow   I've known my share of women   I've seen 'em come, I've seen 'em go      The horses I could handle but the womens got me thrown   Now I smile when I remember that old man   Because he knew more than horses   Like the back of his hand      He said, "Some were born to run   Some will stomp you just for fun   And some have got the devil   In their eyes"      "There's some that you can trust   Some will leave you in the dust   And the wild ones will shake you up inside   But you'll always remember the ride"      He said, "Some were born to run   Some will stomp you just for fun   And some have got the devil   In their eyes"      "There's some that you can trust   Some will leave you in the dust   And the wild ones will shake you up inside   But you'll always remember the ride   Yeah, you'll always remember the ride"
