She Remembers Ridin'

Time has a funny way

Of takin' some things away

She's not the girl she used to be

I've been here every day

Since she's been in this place

And i've watched her slowly slip away

She must've been somethin' in her younger years

That's all she talks about since she's been here

She remembers ridin'

That old gray geldin'

She remembers the wind on her face

And the feel of the reins in her hands

And it's good to see her smilin'

But so hard to keep from cryin'

When i walk in the room

And she doesn't know who i am

She remembers ridin'

She says i gotta go

I got ten head of cows to load

And i've still gotta saddle up big blue

Then she calls for her old cow dog

And i let her ramble on

'cause that old dog's been gone since '52

She's livin' out her days in memories

Maybe that's better than her reality

She remembers ridin'

That old grey geldin'

She remembers the wind on her face

And the feel of the reins in her hands

And it's good to see her smilin'

But so hard to keep from cryin'

When i walk in the room

And she doesn't know who i am

She remembers ridin'

And it's good to see her smilin'

But so hard to keep from cryin'

When i walk in the room

And she doesn't know who i am

She remembers ridin'

Time has a funny way

Of takin some things away...
