His name was Twister
He lived in the pasture
Right down
From my daddy's farm
They say there's a cowboy
Who once tried to ride him
Now he's mendin' fences
With only one arm
On my way home from school
Somehow he always knew
Just when I'd come walkin' by
And he'd stand at the gate
Like the keeper of fate
And we both knew that
One day, I'd just have to ride
Now one crack of dawn
Well, I slipped my boots on
And walked out towards
That just risin' sun
My heart skipped a beat
When I heard his four feet
Poundin' down on the red dirt
Like it was a drum
He walked up against me
As if to convince me
His heart was easily tamed
Then I came to starin' up
At the blue and the black
With a handful of mane
Well, I thought he'd go one way
But he went the other
I'm lucky I even survived
You can't always sit on the fence
While the world passes by
Sometimes you just gotta ride
Well, the years have gone by
Since that mornin' I climbed
On that shadow
That cut through the fields
My shoulder still hurts
When the weather turns worse
Sometimes you find strength
In the wounds that don't heal
'Tween horses and heartaches
Women and mistakes
I've been through
More than I should
But I strapped a saddle
Across every battle
And held on
As long as I could
I thought he'd go one way
But he went the other
I'm lucky I even survived
You can't always sit on the fence
While the world passes by
Sometimes you just gotta ride
I thought he'd go one way
But he went the other
I'm lucky I even survived
You can't always sit on the fence
While the world passes by
Sometimes you just gotta ride
He lived in the pasture
Right down
From my daddy's farm
They say there's a cowboy
Who once tried to ride him
Now he's mendin' fences
With only one arm
On my way home from school
Somehow he always knew
Just when I'd come walkin' by
And he'd stand at the gate
Like the keeper of fate
And we both knew that
One day, I'd just have to ride
Now one crack of dawn
Well, I slipped my boots on
And walked out towards
That just risin' sun
My heart skipped a beat
When I heard his four feet
Poundin' down on the red dirt
Like it was a drum
He walked up against me
As if to convince me
His heart was easily tamed
Then I came to starin' up
At the blue and the black
With a handful of mane
Well, I thought he'd go one way
But he went the other
I'm lucky I even survived
You can't always sit on the fence
While the world passes by
Sometimes you just gotta ride
Well, the years have gone by
Since that mornin' I climbed
On that shadow
That cut through the fields
My shoulder still hurts
When the weather turns worse
Sometimes you find strength
In the wounds that don't heal
'Tween horses and heartaches

I'm lucky I even survived
You can't always sit on the fence
While the world passes by
Sometimes you just gotta ride
I thought he'd go one way
But he went the other
I'm lucky I even survived
You can't always sit on the fence
While the world passes by
Sometimes you just gotta ride
