A Horse In The Country Lyrics - Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies

(Michael Timmins) 

The money would be pretty good 

if a quart of milk were still a dollar 

or even if a quart of milk were still a quart 

And the hours, well, I don't mind 

how they creep on by like an old love of mine 

it's the years that simply disappear that are doing me in 

Guess I married too young, 

yeah, nineteen was just too young, 

but sometimes you meet someone 

and your guts just burn 

It's not that I don't love him anymore 

it's just that when I hear him 

coming through that front door 

my heart doesn't race like it did once before

But I've got a horse out in the country 

I get to see him every second Sunday 

He comes when I call him, 

yeah, he knows his name 

One day I'll saddle up 

and the two of us will ride away 

This weather I could almost stand 

if the sun would shine a little brighter 

or even if the sun would shine at all 

But lately it just seems to me 

that this life has lost its mystery 

and these cold fall mornings seem to bite 

just a little bit harder 

And all my friends have settled down 

become their mothers and their fathers 

without a sound 

Except for Cathy, 

she bought a one-way subway ticket 

and left us all behind

But I've got a horse out in the country 

I get to see him every second Sunday 

He comes when I call him, 

yeah, he knows his name 

One day I'll saddle up 

and the two of us will ride away 

This town wouldn't be so bad 

if a girl could trust her instincts 

or even if a girl could trust a boy
