Daddy was a rider
Daddy used to be a lawman, with a badge and a gun and all
Protecting the streets of Winston, from robbers and drunks and brawls
But he traded his badge for the horse and rider and a leather bag full of mail
He rode from dawn to sunset and never once lost his trail

My daddy was a rider for the Pony Express You should have seen my daddy ride
My daddy was a rider for the Pony Express You should have seen my daddy ride

Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night could stay these couriers from their rounds
Not even the gang from old Beach Hill, could slow my daddy down
Cause my daddy rode hard and my daddy rode fast he could shoot straight on the run
There was many an outlaw and Indian brave tasted lead from my daddy´s gun

Well he went to church every Sunday, with a cigar in his mouth
Left it behind the front door when he went in, he lit it up when he come back out
And I can still remember the feeling of waiting for him to come riding home at night
Five kids trying to be the first to holler, soon as he come in sight
