Horses

I'd be riding horses if they let me

Sleeping outside at night and not take fright

I would ride the range and never worry

I would disappear into the night

[Chorus:]

Everybody needs an angel

But here's that devil by my side

Death had rings upon his fingers

Poor boy hanging on the line

They'd be drawing straws inside the courtroom

As a sudden twilight turns to black

Torches burn into the sad eyes

On the wrong side of the tracks

Make those horses jump through hoops of flame

They won't kick and they won't scream

Let the good Lord do the driving

Poor boy sinking in the stream

I can smell the camp fires burning

But I'll go out walking on my own

By day and night the world keeps turning

Frightened people hiding in their homes

[Chorus]
