Horses

That horse you're on is gonna die real soon
Am I gonna have to dig a grave for two?
Another tombstone in a oil town
Says "Here lies a king, never wore no crown"

The last thing you said was, "Believe in me"
I still don't know just what the hell that means

If I could skip to the last page
Maybe you won't wait around
To see how this thing ends
How your heart lets you down

I ain't sayin' you ain't tough
But tough just ain't enough
When you lay your head down
Let Jesus lift it up

There's buzzards circlin' the whole damn dirt
Just waitin' to take a bite of this man's curse
Another man down in an oil town
Will they eat him alive if he hits the ground?

The last thing you said was you believe in me

If I could skip to the last page
Maybe you won't wait around
To see how this thing ends
How my heart lets you down

I ain't sayin' I ain't tough
But tough just ain't enough
When you lay your head down
Let Jesus lift it up
