Ridin' Them Colts

Damned old cowboy you’re broken again
Just a quiver and a change on the wind
And you’re pullin' out leather and cussin' in vain
Tryin' to stand through the pain
Damned old buckskin all full of the fire
She’s like moonlight aglow on the wire
Soft in the round corral gentle and light
Then she decides to fight
And all that you are comes down to horses
Old childhood dreams and unexplained forces
Sometimes you’re the bottle that holds lightin' bolts
But you’ll be a dead man if you don’t quite ridin' them colts
One good woman and two little boys
Still its horses that bring you true joy
Now you’re down on your back again perkeset high
Stoned like the look in your eye
And all that you are comes down to horses
Old childhood dreams and unexplained forces
Sometimes you’re the bottle that holds lightin' bolts
But you’ll be a dead man if you don’t quite ridin' them colts
Bridge:
Man can you feel that burn in your shoulder
When will you realize that you’re gettin' older
And all that you are comes down to horses
Old childhood dreams and unexplained forces
Sometimes you’re the bottle that holds lightin' bolts
But you’ll be a dead man if you don’t quite ridin' them colts
