Yellow Horse

Yellow Horse

Up all night

Workin’ the night shift again

Same old  thing

Playin’ the game

Payin’ my dues

By the rules

Never gaining ground

Ridin’ my yellow horse

Till dawns early light

Feelin’ the change

Comin’ on

And I'm not getting any younger.

Doin’ right

By the people in my life

Seasons change

And little boys grow up

To be young men

What went wrong

It's all gone

And all I've got

Is this yellow horse

Till dawn

Loadin’ the big rigs

On a hot summer night.

Yellow horse

Hear my voice

Calling’ out your name

Tryin’ to be the man

I promised to be

So long ago

But it can't be

Like it used to

And dreams

Turned to streams

Of rain on the pavement

At midnight.
Thunder and rain, and all I've got are seconds, and flashes in between.

Hello again son

Got your message

You're comin’ home

I'll be waiting

When I'm done

Riding this yellow horse

Till dawn

And we'll go from here

Till I'm gone.

Yellow horse

Hear my voice

Calling’ out your name

Tryin’ to be the man

I promised to be

So long ago

But it can't be

Like it used to

And dreams

Turned to streams

Of rain on the pavement

At midnight.
Thunder and rain, and all I've got are seconds, and flashes in between.
