D                                        G                       D
Daddy shoulda a preacher man 'cause everybody loved to hear him speak
                                               G                   D
He didn't always follow his own advice but we got a sermon every week
           Em             C                G                          D
He'd say trouble always starts as fun and broken hearts will always mend
        Em                      C                      G               D
Tough times don't last, tough people do, and nothin' breaks if it can bend


CHORUS:
                      C                        G
Don't ever sell your saddle, never owe another man
  Am7                       D                    G                  G7
Watch where you spit on a windy day, don't use words you don't understand
                 C7              C                Em
Find the Lord before you need him and never your pride
                       Am7-Em       C        D7         G
Don't ever sell your saddle 'cause life's a long long ride


INTRO


Daddy never ran from anything, always took his share of the blame
Had a heart big enough to fill a valley up, but hard enough to stop a train
He said only fight when you have to because there's always a faster gun
And you'll know a hero from a coward when you see which way they run


CHORUS


BRIDGE:
       F                C         G7                D
Daddy left me his old saddle the day that he passed on
           F                  C                D
And these words are etched into my mind just like they were in stone


CHORUS

                       Am7-Em        C       D7         G
Don't ever sell your saddle 'cause life's a long long ride
