Jonathan East Lyrics

High in the Saddle Lyrics

  
  

Ridin� into Macon, Georgia on a Friday afternoon
Got to find some whiskey, Lord, and I got to find it soon
It�s been two days and that�s just too long
Had me a Southern woman just across that Florida line
I caught her with another man and I didn�t waste no time
I hit the highway and I headed out on my own
And ever since I tasted freedom there�s no way, now
That I�m ever going home.

(Chorus)
Ridin� high in the saddle and low on time
Getting on down to my last dime
Got a feeling everything�s gonna� be ok
Moving quick and stepping light
I be sleeping by day and travel by night
And living my life the cowboy way
Ridin� high in the saddle.

Now, I could use a clean shave and brand new suit of clothes
A home cooked meal would be so good, to me now I suppose
But, if I�m lucky, I�ll just find a place to sleep
If I never settle down and find another love
You won�t catch me crying �cause I don�t need that stuff
I learned my lesson, now I don�t get in too deep
I�d rather die along some back road, in the pouring rain
With the boots still on my feet.

(Repeat Chorus)

It ain�t been so easy, people just don�t understand
The daily aggravation of a free born rambling man
Now, I can�t go back to living, the way I did before
Not everybody loves me, some folks try to put me down
And there�s places where they don�t want white trash like me hanging �round
But, I just keep on moving, guess I don�t care much, anymore
I�m just living on the highway never knowing what tomorrow holds in store.

(Repeat Chorus)
