The Only Horse In Town

歌詞

I have the presidential suite In Joe's Motel over there Joe's long gone incidentally Along with everyone else Even the gypsies have left With everything they could carry, of course They took all they need Except for a clapped-out, knock-kneed, bony, old horse Now, I've got the place to myself I stand and look around At this home that fell from the sky for me And the only horse in town So, I look at the horse, and he looks at me I can tell we have an understanding almost immediately We have been through the mill Last few years, have been grinding uphill Now we found some hay in the barn And pure clean water down in the well Now the cold wind's blowing somewhere else We be safe and sound In the last place on earth for me And the only horse in town We got nothing to hang on the wall And that's better than nothing at all I'm in the bar contemplating And he's outside at the rail Simply waiting And swishing his tail We don't need any more Tell the truth that was always the case But now we live in a world of our own We can do what we want at our own sweet pace And now there's no more misery We're close to the ground With a life of luxury for me And the only horse in town Yes, I have a home to call my own I stand and look around It's the last place on earth for me And the only horse in town
