Lyrics

On a horse named Mosquito rides a boy called Toledo
He's leadin' that mare like a man
She's as black as a ratsnake, sweet as a milkshake
And she's locked on his every command
There's trouble a-brewin' downstairs in the kitchen
The mean in their voices they're at it again
But he's too small and helpless to try and tear down that war
So he turns with Mosquito and leans into the wind
They soar over mountains, they glide underwater
Oh they shine in the dark of the night
Mosquito she's quicker than cold toes in winter
And Toledo holds ever so tight
Ride a little longer, they're almost done screamin'
There's no kind of tired like gettin' nowhere
Soon comes the silence when you feel all the empty
So he studies Mosquito and tries to outrun the tears
Give him the blinders from all the reminders
This house ain't no kind of home
Please don't crush his spirit or leave him to fear it
His heart should never have to weather this kind of storm
So on a horse named Mosquito rides a boy called Toledo
He's leadin' that mare like a man
So when the day's calm is fadin' and the darkness comes shakin'
She'll be ready to save him again
