Lyrics

Dark Horse Friend

You walk around like it's gonna last

Struck a deal with the other side

You're a dark horse friend

Saddle up and you wanna ride

Talk a lot about the fire bell

And how they put you in the carousel

You're a dark horse friend

You're a dark horse friend

You're a dark horse friend

You're a dark horse friend

You're a dark horse friend

You're a dark horse friend

You got a lot of bottle

You're a dark horse friend

You're as brave as me

You're a dark horse friend

Not 'til you hit the bottom

You're a dark horse friend

You wanna come with me

You haven't asked and you haven't tried

And you wonder what it is at night

You're a dark horse friend

Saddle up and you wanna ride

Made a mess of a private hill

And you're never really quite yourself

You're a dark horse friend

You're a dark horse friend

You got a lot of miles

You're a dark horse friend

On the way to feel

You're a dark horse friend

I caught your secret smile

You're a dark horse friend

Buried underneath

You're a dark horse friend

It isn't really buried

You're a dark horse friend

I know you and you know me

Woah, oh, yeah

Woah, oh, yeah

Woah, oh, yeah

Woah, oh, yeah

Woah, oh, yeah

As brave as me

Woah, oh, yeah

As brave as me

Woah, oh, yeah

Brave as me

Woah, oh, yeah

Brave as me

You're a dark horse friend
