He looked at me with one eye closed
And chawed his tobacco
speaking low and slow
Ya see a man needs a code to live by
And to say it straight looking the person in the eye
For I have seen some terrible things
And know what being scared brings
But don't worry about that he said
Saddle up anyway for courage instead
We rode on along the dusty trail
Knowing that when I was with him I couldn't fail
For a man like him knows the score
And will keep on keeping on no matter what's in store.
