CHORUS
I got my education at the College of the Saddle Cactus thorns and Maverick's horns were my Teacher's paddle I can read brands and write my name and count all the cows I see and the College of the Saddle is where I got my degree
Verse 1
When I was a little boy about the age of ten Mama would always tell me about the educated men She'd say, I had to go to school and not grow up a fool But I spent more time on a horse than I ever did in school
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2
I grew up quick and worked real hard, not following Mama's plan
And I wish she could see me now, a full grown working man
I had a school, but not her choice and I did surely pass
Cause now I own about ten square miles of good old Texas grass
Repeat Chorus
