Lyrics
[Verse 1: Johnny Cash & June Carter]
If I drove a truck
And I were a waitress
And I ordered coffee
And I poured you some
Then you’d stop by on your way sometimes later
And if we arm-wrestled
I’d say that you won
[Chorus: Johnny Cash & June Carter]
I need my baby, ride easy, ride high in the saddle all day
If your loving is good
And your cooking ain’t greasy
We’ll chuck the chuck wagon and we’ll ride away
[Verse 2: Johnny Cash & June Carter]
If I were a winsome pale senorita
And I a bull-fighter, way down in the sand
While the band kept on playing that Old Paso Doable
Would you throw me a flower
Would you take my hand?
[Chorus: Johnny Cash & June Carter]
I need my baby, ride easy, ride high in the saddle all day
If your loving is good
And your cooking ain’t greasy
We’ll chuck the chuck wagon and we’ll ride away
[Verse 3: Johnny Cash & June Carter]
If I ran the country
I’d be your first lady and I’d pick up the white house while you were away
Waiting while you’re passing time with world leaders
Left alone together alone we might lay
[Chorus: Johnny Cash & June Carter]
I need my baby, ride easy, ride high in the saddle all day
If your loving is good
And your cooking ain’t greasy
We’ll chuck the chuck wagon and we’ll ride away
If your loving is good
And your cooking ain’t greasy
We’ll chuck the chuck wagon and we’ll ride away
We’ll chuck the chuck wagon and we’ll ride away (away, away)
