There’s a hole in his heart - her memory walks through
A whole lotta past - he’d like to undo
Too many bruises - and busted bones
And too much time - spent healin’ alone
Tonight on the porch - of his cabin he sits
And remembers how he loved the west
The oats he’s sown - records he’s broke
And all the horses he’s rode

But he’d trade all the titles - ropes and the reins
The saddles, buckles, trucks and all the fame
For one night with that woman - he wouldn’t let get close
That woman whose lovin’ he now needs most
Yea, he’d give it all back if he could Lord knows
He’d trade all the horses he’s rode

Chasin’ gold from a saddle - hell bent on career
He couldn’t see past - the next horse or steer
All they are now - are souvenirs
Collectin’ dust - year after year
So tonight on the porch - of his cabin he sits
And remembers how he loved the west
The oats he’s sown - and letters she wrote
And all the horses he’s rode

But he’d trade all the titles - ropes and the reins
The saddles, buckles, trucks and all the fame
For one night with that woman - he wouldn’t let get close
That woman whose lovin’ he now needs most
Yea, he’d give it all back if he could Lord knows
He’d trade all the horses he’s rode

He’d trade all the horses he’s rode
I’d trade all the damn horses I rode
