[Verse 1]
C                         F
Well he was pushing seven, she was barely five 
   G                                   C
He rode up on his broomstick horse and said, you wanna ride? 
    C                               F                     Dm
His boots made a funny sound 'cause they were his daddy's size 
    G                                C
His hat keep slippin' down below his eyes 
 
 
[Chorus 1]
         F               G               C
And they rode off in the sunset down the sidewalk 
    F              G               C
She laughed at him every time that he talked 
    F                    G              C              F
His two front teeth were missin' but he had the cutest smile 
G                              C
She thanked the cowboy for the ride 
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                         F
Well he was seventeen the next time he rode up 
G                         C
She'd never seen inside a pickup truck 
C                                       F            Dm
Well, he was tall and handsome, smiling cuter than before 
     G                             C
He'd grown up to fit them boots he wore 
 
 
[Chorus 2]
         F               G               C
And they rode off in the sunset down the highway 
     F               G                C
They took their time gettin' home the back way 
F               G                    C                 F
Later on in the front porch swing he pulled her to his side 
    G                          C
She thanked the cowboy for the ride 
 
 
[Verse 3]
        C                              F
Well he loved her since a child, she'd always felt the same
        G                                       C
So they settled down and hitched their dreams together
C                                           F                 Dm
And they raised two broomstick cowboys, and one little cowboy girl
   G                                  C
To know God paints the sunsets of the world
 
 
[Key Change to D]
 
[Verse 4]
D                                 G
Well he's almost sixty-seven, and she'll admit to forty-nine 
         A                                     D
He still loves her like a child, and she still feels the same 
        D                             G              Em
Well he smiles a little slower at the twinkle in her eye 
     A                            D
They still saddle up from time to time 
 
 
[Chorus 3]
         G               A             D
And they ride off in the sunset in the evening 
G                  A               D
Stars as bright as if they'd never seen them 
    G              A                  D                G
She never fails to say it before they go to sleep each night 
        A                                  D
Well, I love you cowboy, thank you for the ride 
        G               A                  D
Well, I love you cowboy, thank you for the ride
