Lyrics



Prince Charming and his pal Casanova
Are two lover boys from southern Arkansas
One look in those big brown eyes
Makes me melt all up inside
And wish El Dorado wasn't quite so far

Closer to home I've loved many others
I lay my hands on every stallion that I can
I take the lead and run 'em round,
Heat 'em up then rub 'em down
Until I've got them eating out of my hand

I've had this passion since I was a little girl
And every year I get a little more obsessed
They say it isn't ladylike
But my idea of a good time
Is riding hard until we're both out of breath

Boys may come, boys may go but horses are forever
Any man who wants to hang around me must remember
When I'm wrapped up in your arms
My heart's out there in the barn
I just thought you should know before we take this any farther
Boy, you know I think that you're important
But you'll always come in second to my horses...

I guess you're not half bad for a human
You're looking farm boy cute in your hat and jeans
Oh, but don't make that mistake
Cowgirls don't like anything fake
Your hands are too soft and your boots are clean

And I've seen you driving around in your Tacoma
She's real pretty but watcha gonna do with her?
You've got a tiny little hitch
You can't pull my trailer with it
It's no good to me unless it's got a diesel purr

Now if you still think you want to get to know me
I think it's only fair I warn you right up front
That I've got farming in the veins and
Equines on the brain
The girl you're looking at's already in love

Boys may come, boys may go but horses are forever
Any man who wants to hang around me must remember
When I'm wrapped up in your arms
My heart's out there in the barn
I just thought you should know before we take this any farther
Boy, you know I think that you're important
But you'll always come in second to my horse

The only way it's gonna work
Out in the long term
Is if he feels the same way
I'm waiting for someone to say...

People come and people go but horses are forever
Let's tie the knot and settle down and live the dream together
Wrapped up in each other's arms
We'll roll around out in the barn
And someday if we're blessed we'll find that good keeps getting better
Passing on this love is important
So let's have some kids and raise them up with horses

Apaloosas, Palaminos
Gypsy Vanners, Paso Finos
Arabians, Egyptians, Belgians
Mustangs, Morgans, Pintos, Buckskins
Quarter Horses, Andalusians
Clydesdales, Percherons and Fresians
Thoroughbreds and Shetland Ponies
Mares and Stallions, Colts and Fillies...
