Double Dose Aerosmith - Back In The Saddle

“I’m back in the saddle again
I’m back
I’m back in the saddle again
I’m riding, I’m loading up my pistol
I’m riding, I really got a fistful
I’m riding, I’m shining up my saddle
I’m riding, this snake is gonna rattle”

Aerosmith - Back In The Saddle~

Back In The Saddle was one of my favorites as a kid. I don’t know what it is about this song, but it just gets you going. Used in various movie sound tracks, this song is undoubtedly an anthem for someone getting back on their feet, making a comeback, coming back to life, etc. There is really not much more I can say about this song besides it’s just a classic Aerosmith song. Enjoy the live, 20 year old performance from Houston 1988. Lyrics after the video.

Aerosmith Back IN The Saddle Lyrics

I’m back
I’m back in the saddle again
I’m back
I’m back in the saddle again

Ridin’ into town alone
By the light of the moon
I’m looking for ol Sukie Jones
She crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink
That’s when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink
That make a grown man cry

(Chorus)

Come easy, go easy
All right until the rising sun
I’m calling all the shots tonight
I’m like a loaded gun
Peelin’ off my boots and chaps
I’m saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks
I scream for more
Fools’ gold out of their mines
The girls are soaking wet
Not tounge’s drier than mine
I’ll come when I get back

I’m back in the saddle again
I’m back
I’m back in the saddle again
I’m riding, I’m loading up my pistol
I’m riding, I really got a fistful
I’m riding, I’m shining up my saddle
I’m riding, this snake is gonna rattle

(Chorus)

Ridin’ high
Ridin’ high
Ridin’ high already
