    Backstory:
    A cowboy song written from the angle that at the end of a career chasing rodeos he realizes he would trade all the horses he rode for one night with the woman he wouldn't let get close.

    Lyrics:
                                                      
    There’s a hole in his heart her mem’ry walks through A whole lotta past he’d like to undo Too many bruises and busted bones And too much time spent healin’ alone So tonight from the front porch of his cabin he strolls Through mem’ries of old rodeos The oats he’s sown, the records he’s broke And all the horses he rode But he’d trade all the titles, ropes and the reins The saddles, buckles, trucks and all the fame For one night with that woman he wouldn’t let get close That woman whose lovin’ he now needs most Yeah he’d give it all back if he could Lord knows He’d trade all of the horses he’s rode Chasin’ gold from a saddle hell bent on career He couldn’t see past the next horse or steer But all they are now are souvenirs Collectin’ dust year after year So tonight from the front porch of his cabin he strolls Through mem’ries of old rodeos Tradin’ letters she wrote, beggin’ him to come home For all the horses he rode But he’d trade all the titles, ropes and the reins The saddles, buckles, trucks and all the fame For one night with that woman he wouldn’t let get close That woman whose lovin’ he now needs most Yeah he’d give it all back if he could Lord knows He’d trade all of the horses he’s rode Yeah he’d give it all back if he could Lord knows He’d trade all of the horses he’s rode
