There's something about horses, especially a paint

Whenever I see horses it reminds me of what I ain't


‘Cause I am not your lover now and I may never be

But with a couple pinto ponies how things go we'll have to see

‘Cause they're hitched outside to the rail right now and their silver jangles free

And the saddlebags are snugged right down, sugar, ride away with me


There's something about horses, especially a paint

Whenever I see horses I see a sadness in their face


I was raised with the West around, enough to hum the tune

But I never knew the place like the old boys did chinooked and mountain viewed

‘Cause this was all a cathedral then and the cowboys, they all knew

That you can't keep a loop on paradise but she disappeared so soon

She disappeared so soon


There's something about horses, especially a paint

Whenever I see horses I see a path I didn't take
