[Verse 1] He rode in at dusk With dust on his boots A six-shooter hung From a belt worn smooth She stood by the store With her chin held high Blue ribbon in her hair And a fire in her eye [Pre-Chorus] He said, “Ma’am, I’m just passing through” She said, “You look like trouble too” Then she laughed at the way he bowed And the whole wide world went quiet somehow [Chorus] Saddle and roses That’s our kind of love Saddle and roses Tender and tough He rides for the storm She waits in the glow Saddle and roses Where the wild hearts go (Saddle and roses) [Verse 2] He’d sweep off the porch Before nightfall came She’d pour sweet tea And call him by name When trouble came fast Like a wolf through the dust She’d slip him some shells And say, “Come back to us” [Pre-Chorus] He said, “I don’t stay long” She said, “Stay long enough” Then she gave him that smile That could soften the rough And every soul in town Knew before the dawn That her soft little prayer Could keep an outlaw strong [Chorus] Saddle and roses That’s our kind of love Saddle and roses Tender and tough He rides for the storm She waits in the glow Saddle and roses Where the wild hearts go (Saddle and roses) [Bridge] One moonlit night By the corral gate He set down his gun Said, “I can wait” She touched his hand Said, “You already did” Then kissed that scar Like it never lived [Final Chorus] Saddle and roses That’s our kind of love Saddle and roses Tender and tough He rode through the storm Now he stays in the glow Saddle and roses Where the wild hearts go Saddle and roses Where the warm wind blows Saddle and roses Till the prairie knows (Saddle and roses)
