Well he was pushing seven she was barely five 
He rode up on his broomstick horse and said you wanna ride 
His boots made a funny sound cause they were his daddy's size 
His hat keep slippin' down below his eyes 
And they rode off in the sunset down the sidewalk 
She laughed at him every time that he talked 
His two front teeth were missin' but he had the cutest smile 
She thanked the cowboy for the ride 
Well he was seventeen the next time he rode up 
She'd never seen inside a pickup truck 
Well he was tall and handsome smiling cuter than before 
He'd grown up to fit them boots he wore 
And they rode off in the sunset down the highway 
They took their time gettin' home the back way 
Later on in the front porch swing he pulled her by his side 
She thanked the cowboy for the ride 
Well he loved her like a child she'd always felt the same 
So they settled down and hitched their dreams together 
And they raised two broomstick cowboys and one little cowboy girl 
To know God makes the sunsets of the world 
Well he's almost sixty-seven and she'll admit to fourty-nine 
He still loves her like a child and she still feels the same 
Well he smiles a little slower at the twinkle in her eye 
They still saddle up from time to time 
And they ride off in the sunset in the evening 
Stars as bright as if they'd never seen them 
She never fails to say it before they go to bed at night 
Well I love you cowboy thank you for the ride
