Don't Ever Sell Your Saddle Lyrics
by Randy Travis
CAPO II
INTRO: Em D C Em D G
Daddy shoulda a preacher man 'cause everybody loved to hear him speak
He didn't always follow his own advice but we got a sermon every week
He'd say trouble always starts as fun and broken hearts will always mend
Tough times don't last, tough people do, and nothin' breaks if it can bend
CHORUS:
Don't ever sell your saddle, never owe another man
Watch where you spit on a windy day, don't use words you don't understand
Find the Lord before you need him and never your pride
Don't ever sell your saddle 'cause life's a long long ride
Daddy never ran from anything, always took his share of the blame
Had a heart big enough to fill a valley up, but hard enough to stop a train
He said only fight when you have to because there's always a faster gun
And you'll know a hero from a coward when you see which way they run
BRIDGE:
Daddy left me his old saddle the day that he passed on
And these words are etched into my mind just like they were in stone
Don't ever sell your saddle 'cause life's a long long ride
