Hold My Horses

There's a golden palomino

She lives in my mind

And she's tame for the most part

But I tell ya sometimes

When the clock and the cash get the best of me

Her ties come loose and she breaks free

I can't hold my horses

'Cause I ain't that stable

And I know I oughta break 'em

But I haven't been able

To keep from kickin' up the dust

Runnin' over the canyon

I give into the forces

'Cause I can't hold my horses

Yeah, I do my best to rein her in

Yeah, she's off to the races

I try to close my eyes

But it's 2 AM and I'm shakin'

She's kinda pretty as she goes

As she takes my breath away

And not in a good way

I can't hold my horses

'Cause I ain't that stable

Yeah, I know I oughta break 'em

But I haven't been able

To keep from kickin' up the dust

Runnin' over the canyon

I give into the forces

'Cause I can't hold my horses

Halfway 'cross the desert, I'm gonna let her ride

In a few days, she'll come back and I'll be fine

I can't hold my horses

'Cause I ain't that stable

They keep tryin' to break me

But they haven't been able

I keep kickin' up the dust

Runnin' over the canyon

I give into the forces

'Cause I can't hold my horses, yeah

I can't hold my horses, yes

(Hey)
