Brothers there is so much more
To what your sister’s fighting for
Than whether you should hold the door
Can’t believe that makes you sore
Sandy woke up not a soul could she see
Except for Jake Hawkins, whose ghost wouldn’t leave
She’s covered in mud, all crusted her face
She licked her lips ‘cause she liked how it tastes
Saddle up, saddle up
Jake was her lover, ‘least that’s what he claimed
Said that he’d laid her, said she was tamed
One day she heard how the rumors had spread
Grabbed him by the third leg, and here’s what she said
Saddle up, saddle up
Saddle up for the ride of your life, boy
You want some of hers? Better dig in your spurs
Gone are the days of the knights and the maids
Get with it, or kiss your ass goodbye
Jake threw her down in Humility Woods
Said he wasn’t leaving til she gave up the goods
Four girls on horseback came from the sunset
Jake found his limbs tied to a menage a quartet
Saddle up, saddle up
Saddle up for the ride of your life, boy
You want some of hers? Better dig in your spurs
Gone are the days of the knights and the maids
Get with it, or kiss your ass goodbye
Sandy rode back into town with a grin
Lawmen were waiting and they took her in
Showed her a noose, but she didn’t care
Laughed like a baby, and hung like a bear
Saddle up for the ride of your life, boy
You want some of hers? Better dig in your spurs
Gone are the days of the knights and the maids
Get with it, or kiss your ass goodbye
