All Them Horses

Lyrics From Live Debut & Snippet

[Verse 1]

Window seat in a nineties plane

See the rivers meet and spread like veins

'Nother airport lounge, 'nother time zone change

Gonna dance around, sing about my pain, okay, it pays

[Verse 2]

See the dried flood lines on the neighbor's porches

Do you remember crying for all them horses?

They did not look scared at all

They did not look scared, they did not look scared at all

[Verse 3]

Tell me that it feels you cannot escape me

Just yell likе Dad would yell at all the noise I'm making

I'm just happy you still call

I'm just happy, I'm just happy you still call

[Verse 4]

City kid bought thе farm, he's a real nice guy

Left a lifetime invitation for my friends and I

Couldn't make it back even if I tried

Oh, some things live forever, even when they die, oh, my

My, my, my, my, my, my

[Chorus]

Know I wanna beat it, wanna beat it bad

Oh, everyone looks happy in a photograph

I've crossed the county line, I cannot go back

I'm always on my own

Couldn't make it home 'cause of all that rain

Oh, run of bad luck in a nowhere state

I'm high above us now in a big jet plane

I'm always on my own

[Post-Chorus]

I'm always on my own

One, two, three, four

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 5]

I ain't planned it yet, dear, the plane just landed out here

Rubbed my eyes on 89, double yellow, murdered deer

You can't vanish, yes, love, you can try to disappear

A thousand miles on a dirt road, strike a light, let it burn slow

[Verse 6]

Maybe I'm manic again, but I think, this time, I'm out for good

I'm a sidewalk preacher with a record deal, I'm the weight of new sneakers on some dead wood

This ain't mine anymore, I made too much goddamn noise

From staring at the void instead of casting with the boys

[Chorus]

Know I wanna beat it, wanna beat it bad

Oh, everyone looks happy in a photograph

I've crossed the county line, I cannot go back

I'm always on my own

Couldn't make it home 'cause of all that rain

Oh, run of bad luck in a nowhere state

I'm high above us now in a big jet plane

I'm always on my own

[Post-Chorus]

I'm always on my own

[Bridge]

See the dried flood lines on the neighbor's porches

Do you remember crying for all them horses?

They did not look scared at all

They did not look scared, they did not look scared at all

[Chorus]

Know I wanna beat it, wanna beat it bad

Oh, everyone looks happy in a photograph

I've crossed the county line that I cannot go back

I'm always on my own

Couldn't make it home 'cause of all that rain

Oh, run of bad luck in a nowhere state

I'm high above us now in a big jet plane

I'm always on my own

[Post-Chorus]

I'm always on my own
