Equus Caballus Lyrics - Singles - Wylie And Wild West

Words: Joel Nelson, Music:Wylie Gustafson (Two Medicine Music) BMI 

I have run on middle fingernail through Eolithic morning 

And Ive thundered down the coach road with Revolutions warning 

I have carried countless errant knights who never found the grail 

I have strained before the caissons, Ive moved the nations mail 

Ive made knights of lowly tribesmen, kings from ranks of peons 

Ive given pride and arrogance to riding men for eons 

Ive grazed among the lodges, teepees and the yurts 

Felt the sting of driving whips, lashes, spurs and quirts 

I am roguish- I am flighty- inbred and lowly 

Im a nightmare gone wild I am 

Gallant and exalted- stately and noble 

Im awesome- I am grand I am 

The Horse 

I have suffered gross indignities from users and winners 

Ive felt the touch of kindness from losers and sinners 

I have given for the cruel hand and given for the kind 

Heaved a sigh at Appomattox when surrender had been signed 

I can be as tough as hardened steel- fragile as a flower 

I know not my endurance I know not my own power 

I have died with heart exploded beneath the cheering stands 

Calmly stood below the hanging noose of vigilante bands 

I am roguish- I am flighty- inbred and lowly 

Im a nightmare gone wild- I am 

Gallant and exalted- stately and noble 

Im awesome- I am grand- I am 

the Horse 

So Ill run on middle fingernail until the curtain closes 

Ill win for you your triple crown Ill wear for you your roses 

Toward you who took my freedom Ive no malice or remorse 

Ill endure Ill last forever I am 

The Horse
