_ _ _ [E] _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
[D] _ His name was twisty.
He lived in the pasture right [G] down from my [D] daddy's farm _
[G] They say there's a cowboy [D] who once tried to write him [A] now
He's mending fences [G] with only [A] one arm on my [D] way home to school
Somehow he always knew [G] just when I'd come [D] walking by _
[G] And he'd stand at the gate [D] like the keeper of fate [A] and we both knew that one day I just [D] had to lie
_ _ _ _ Now one crack of dawn, well, I slipped my boots on and [G] walked out towards that just [D] rising sun
_ [G] My heart skipped a beat [D] when I heard his four feet [A] pounding down on the red rug [G] like it was a [D] drum
He walked up against me as if to convince me [G] his heart was [D] easily tamed
_ [G]
Then I came to [D] staring up at the blue [A] and black with a handful [D] of men
I [G]
thought he'd go one [D] way, but he went the other
[G] I'm lucky I even [A] survived
_ [G] You can't always sit [D] on a fence while the world [A] passes by
_ _ Sometimes you just [D] gotta [A] ride
[D] _ _ _ _ Well, years have gone by since that morning I climbed [G] on that shadow that cut through [D] fields
_ [G] My shoulder still hurts [D] when the weather turns worse
[A]
Sometimes you find strength [G] in the wounds that don't heal
[D] Between forcers and heartaches
Women and [G] mistakes.
I've been through more [D] than I should
[G] But I strapped a saddle [D] across every battle [A] and held on as long [D] as I _ could
[G] I thought he'd go one [D] way, but he went the other
[G] I'm lucky I even [A] survived
