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  
         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  

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                             F 
He'd grown up to fit them boots he wore  
         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 by his side  
    G                          C 
She thanked the cowboy for the ride  

Key Change to D 
D                                 G      
Well he's almost sixty-seven, and she'll admit to fourty-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  
         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                G                 D 
Well, I love you cowboy, thank you for the ride  
        G               A                  D 
Well, I love you cowboy, thank you for the ride
