Why do I like horses? I think I must be mad. My mother wasn't horsey - And neither was my dad. But the madness hit me early - and it hit me like a curse. And I've never gotten better. In fact I've gotten worse. I hardly read a paper - but I know who's sold their horse. And I wouldn't watch the news - Unless Mr. Ed was on, of course. One eye's always on the heavens - but my washing waves in vain As I rush to get the horses in - in case it's gonna rain. I spend up every cent I've got - on horsey stuff for sure I buy saddles, bridles, fancy boots - and then I buy some more. I can't sew on a button - I don't even try But I can back a truck and trailer - in the twinkling of an eye. It's jeans and boots that I live in night and day And that smell of sweaty horses just doesn't go away. I ache from long forgotten falls. My knees have got no skin. But back for more I go - again and again. But late at night, when all is still - and I've gone to give them hay, I touch their velvet softness and my worries float away. They give a gentle nicker and they nuzzle through my hair And I know it's where my heart is - more here than anywhere.
