THE MAN WITH THE LEATHER TAN…
It ain’t gonna be easy,
To see her go.
But I know that she loves that man
With the leather tan
From the rodeo.
Well, she won’t dig Wyoming
With all of that snow.
But I know that she loves the man
With the leather tan
And she wants to go.

It ain’t gonna be easy
When I come down.
But I know that she loves that man
With the leather tan
And they’re leavin’ town.
Well, she won’t dig Nevada,
With the sands that blow.
But I know that she loves that man
With the leather tan
And she wants to go.

She’ll be takin’ a ride
With the wind at her side
On a dusty trail.
With love as her guide
She’ll have nothin’ to hide
When they set sail.
It ain’t gonna be easy,
When she hits the road.
‘cause she’s finer than any filly
He ever throwed.
She won’t dig Topeka.
It’s hot and it’s slow.
But I know that she loves the man
With the leather tan
And she wants to go.

I keep stirrin’ a dream
With sugar and cream
In this old café.
But it’s nothin’ but coffee
Since she left with the man
The other day.

It ain’t gonna be easy
To see her go.
But I know that she loves that man
With the leather tan
From the rodeo.
Well, she won’t dig Wyoming
With all of that snow.
But I know that she loves that man
With the leather tan
And she has to go.
