Lyrics
HOLD ON TO THE REINS (© 2004 Rizen Ranch Music)
Theres a dusty old rocking horse
With a tear in his pastel eye.
His leather reins all cracked and dried
As the children pass him by
The memories of days gone by
Attracted by his smile
Wakes the child within your heart
And the moments pass you by
Strong enough to hold on
Looking back at the trails I blaze
Hold on to the reins
Theres a galant horse that marches on
As he leads the grand parade
Down the avenue they celebrate
As he dances in the rain
Strong enough to hold on
Looking back at the trails I blaze
Hold on to the reins
Hold on to the reins
Theres a dusty old rocking horse
With a tear in his pastel eyes.
The memories of days gone by
Attracted by his smile
