It's a strange thing you do, a compromise between the two.
Things that boys make believe, and the things men have to do.
Somewhere along the road, I just did what I was told.
Lost the map to all my dreams, and watched that trail run cold.
But if I had a horse to ride away, like I did in my younger days.
I'd ride it straight back to innoncence and the promises I made.
I'd right all the wrongs and sing more cowboy songs.
With a pistol by my side I'd get back to being brave.
Yeah I bet things would change, if I had a horse to ride away.
And it was just a wooden broom that my momma used to use.
To sweep up all the dirt a boy could find in an afternoon.
But I gave that broom a name, we were good at robbing trains.
But life does its thing and imagination it fades.
But if I had a horse to ride away, like I did in my younger days.
I'd ride it straight back to innoncence and the promises I made.
I'd right all the wrongs and sing more cowboy songs.
With a pistol by my side I'd get back to being brave.
Yeah I bet things would change, if I had a horse to ride away.
Oh, every now and then I want to go there.
I bet I could get there.
If I had a horse to ride away, like I did in my younger days.
I'd ride it straight back to innoncence and the promises I made.
I'd right all the wrongs, I'd sing more cowboy songs.
With a pistol by my side I'd get back to being brave.
Yes I know things would change, if I had a horse to ride away.
If I had a horse to ride away...
