lyrics

So ima write a letter to both my horses
And then that’s it, that’s it for me
I wont keep waiting around here
Playing my part and succumb
To mediocrity

Im gonna lay me down with both my horses
On a pile of hay and bottles of gin
And they will tell me aint no wrong in me
But I know ill never matter
Anywhen

So I tell them then and there my horses
Bout that whore house behind heaven’s gates
And all that sin-forgiving stuff sounds nice
But I just don’t see any sense
In that so

Bury me till morning, neath stars above me glow-ow-owing
Bury me till morning neath stars above me glowing
And I’ll be holding on to what’s golden
At my age, that fate, oh im rolling
Yeah I’ll be holding on to what’s golden
One last time, one last time,
Honey

So ima go untie you, give you water,
Get those saddles off and then i
Lay upon your arching backs
A stroke of luck and
Carefreeness

You were my pastors im your saviour
I wont take any thanks for that
It’s you two carriers of my labour
Who made my time here make some
Sense

Before I leave you now my horses
Let me give you just one last advice
Don’t let the wind escape your
Coat of fur and keep the setting sun
In front your eyes,
