George Strait — If Heartaches Were Horses

[Verse 1] Been in the saddle since the sun came up Rounding up strays in, this ole; West Texas dust She's been packing her things since I put coffee on By sundown she'll be gone [Verse 2] Damn this ole girth, worn right in two But a spare length of leather and I'll make it do Just when I think I've got life by the reins Home ain't sweet home on the range [Chorus] If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle [Bridge] And she'd say she loved me and this cowboy way of life She'd be right beside me when we rode home tonight [Chorus] If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle
