Lyrics
He spent his days with horses
Spending time with horses was a significant part of his life.
And his nights with Rosalee
Nights were spent with someone named Rosalee.
He spent his pay on whiskey
His earnings were used on whiskey, particularly from Tennessee.
That was made in Tennessee
Describes the origin of the whiskey he consumed.
As I was growing up
The speaker reflects on his upbringing.
He spent a lot of time with me
The old man spent quality time with the speaker during his childhood.
When I'd ask him about women
The speaker asked the old man about women.
He'd just grin
The old man responded with a grin, implying a nuanced understanding.
He said son I know horses
The old man claims expertise in understanding horses.
Like the back of my hand
Expressing deep knowledge of horses, akin to familiarity with one's hand.
He said some were born to run
The old man imparts wisdom about horses having different natures.
Some will stomp you just for fun
Some horses are born to run, while others may be aggressive for fun.
And some have got the devil in their eyes
Warning about horses with a mischievous or dangerous demeanor.
There's some that you can trust
Advice on trusting some horses.
Some will leave you in the dust
Caution about horses that may abandon or betray.
And the wild ones will shake you up inside
Wild horses can be emotionally unsettling.
But you'll always remember the ride
Despite challenges, the experience of riding will be memorable.
Like him I rode some horses
The speaker reflects on personal experiences riding horses.
Some were fast and some were slow
Various horses had different speeds.
I've known my share of women
The speaker had encounters with women, experiencing their arrivals and departures.
I've seen 'em come
Women in the speaker's life came and went.
I've seen 'em go
Reflecting on the transient nature of relationships.
The horses I could handle
Handling horses was manageable, but women caused challenges.
But the women got me thrown
Past experiences with women left a lasting impact on the speaker.
Now I smile when I remember that old man
The speaker fondly remembers the old man who had wisdom beyond just horses.
Because he knew more than horses
Comparing the old man's knowledge of horses to the back of his hand.
Like the back of his hand
Reiterating the depth of the old man's knowledge.
He said some were born to run
Repetition of the old man's wisdom about horses' diverse nature.
Some will stomp you just for fun
Reiterating that some horses can be aggressive for fun.
And some have got the devil in their eyes
Highlighting the danger of horses with a devilish demeanor.
There's some that you can trust
Encouraging trust in certain horses.
Some will leave you in the dust
Warning about horses that may abandon or betray.
And the wild ones will shake you up inside
Reiteration of the emotional impact of wild horses.
But you'll always remember the ride
Despite challenges, the experience of riding remains memorable.
