[00:08.72]Me and my uncle went riding down
[00:13.15]South Colorado west Texas bound
[00:17.67]We stopped over in Santa Fe
[00:22.00]That being the point just about half way
[00:27.01]And you know it was the hottest part of the day
[00:33.15]I took the horses up to the stall
[00:37.80]Went to the barroom ordered drinks for all
[00:42.10]Three days in the saddle you know my body hurt
[00:46.73]It being summer I took off my shirt
[00:51.32]Hey I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt
[00:57.75]When Texas cowboys they're all around
[01:02.20]With liquor and money they loaded down
[01:06.66]So soon after payday know it seemed a shame
[01:11.48]You know my uncle he starts a friendly game
[01:16.08]Hey high low jack and the winner take the hand
