Chris Ledoux - It Ain't The Years, It's The Miles Lyrics
I walked behind the chute, stapped my spurs to my bootsAt that big rodeo in cheyenne.Feelin tired and sore for a ride the day before,And a thousand other rides since I began.As I climbed up the gate I heard that young cowboy sayin,Well, that ole man aint gonna ride, and I had to smile.I said son it aint age that makes me look this way,It aint the years boy...its the miles.It aint the years that Ive known that have taken their toll,cause theyve been few.If you took all the mashins, the draggins and the crashins,Youd probably look the same way I do.Its the million miles of road, and gettin snatched around and throwed,That finally put the cramp in my style.It aint the years boy...its the miles.Went on and made my ride, only scored a 65.But you know what really made my day complete,Was when I looked up just in time to see that young cowboy goin flyin,And land in a pile at my feet.And as the first aid came to haul him away, I said son youll beAllright in a little while.Hes on his way to findin out what its all about.It aint the years boy...its the miles.It aint the years that Ive known thatve taken their toll.cause theyve been few.If you took all the mashins, the draggins, and the crashins, youdProbably look the same way I do.Its the million miles of road of gettin snatched around and throwed,That finally put the cramp in my style.It aint age that made me look this way,It aint the years boy...its the miles.It aint age that makes me look this way,It aint the years boy...its the miles.
