The end of this relationship was somewhat sad and cold
What made it end so sudden was, the cowboy just got old
She was younger by a decade, her life was riding high
The cowboy loved his ranchland life and had to pick a side
The trials and tribulations that make us who we are
The teaching from our fathers that carry us this far
The heartaches we must carry to make it day by day
The loving from that woman he lost along the way
Rich houses and the finerside was not what he had planned
Between his late, late nights, her life was somewhat grand
He tried to close that gap in life, both came from different worlds
A logical man his simple life, the ranch was all he yearned
The trials and tribulations that make us who we are
The teaching from our fathers that carry us this far
The heartaches we must carry to make it day by day
The loving from that woman he lost along the way
He lives his life so guarded as darkness turns to gray
Still overseeing that ranchland, he rides it everyday
His heart so full with memories, the woman she has gone
With heartaches this old cowboy will keep on riding on
The trials and tribulations that make us who we are
The teaching from our fathers that carry us this far
The heartaches we must carry to make it day by day
The loving from that woman he lost along the way
