Lyrics

Out of the gate, you told me quite plainly, the horses come first.
You wouldn't be tied down. Don't worry darling, I'm not trying to break you.
Did you balk at the signs coming from your near side?
Did you get shy when you noticed that I wasn't going to be your teaser?

You always tried to keep boys on the side.
You thought your heart was sealed but I found a way in.
And now that I'm here I think I?ll be staying.
There's strength in your hands, grace in your stance.
You love the life you live but no one understands.
So riddle me this:
Will I go clean on your courses, if I fall in love with a girl who rides horses?

Will you take me in hand? Give me a chance to let me find my stride?
Even though you can?t show me, I'll be an easy keeper.
You can leave me at grass when my time has passed, but that will be awhile.
'Cause I promise you now you can't overface me.

And you always tried to keep boys on the side.
You thought your heart was sealed but I found a way in.
And now that I'm here I think I'll be staying.
There's strength in your hands, grace in your stance.
You love the life you live but no one understands.
So riddle me this:
Will I go clean on your courses, if I fall in love with a girl who rides horses?

'Cause you always tried to keep boys on the side.
You thought your heart was sealed but I found a way in.
And now that I'm here I think I'll be staying.
There's strength in your hands, grace in your stance,.
You love the life you live but no one understands.
So riddle me this:
Will I go clean on your courses?
'Cause I'm falling in love with a girl who rides horses.
I'm falling in love with a girl who rides horses.

Out of the gate, you told me quite plainly, the horses come first.
You wouldn't be tied down, but don't worry darling. I'm not trying to break you.
