riders in the sky - the trail tip song lyrics

[verse 1]
when i was just a greenh+rn buckaroo of twenty two
life’s rodeo had throwed me, i was hung up and confused
my life just sort of grinded to a stop
so i went down to the barn to see my pop
he pushed his dusty cowboy hat back on his graying head
said, “son, i ain’t learned much from this old cowboy life i’ve led
course there are some trail tips that you might recall
to get you through this vexing veil of tears without a fall

[chorus]
always drink upstream from the herd
never look straight up at a bird
and when you get bucked off, get back on
and, son, don’t squat with your spurs on”

[verse 2]
well, you know how a kid is, he don’t take no one’s advice
i had to drink down stream myself before i saw the light
true wisdom takes some time to understand
and it was only this morning at the crack of dawn
when i pulled my britches and my boots on
and i strapped on my brand new silver shiny spurs
with a hand+engraved portrait of john wayne
and the two+and+a+quarter+inch razor+point rowel
and i stumbled over to the campfire for my morning coffee
and i squatted down to watch the sun come up
and i suddenly realized
i could still learn something from my dear departed dad
[chorus]
always drink upstream from the herd
never look straight up at a bird
when you get bucked off, get back on
and don’t squat with your spurs on

[outro]
everybody’s gotta squat sometimes
smart ones take their spurs off first
hey, partner, please pass the salve
