Fast Horse

(Ira Dean/Kim Tribble/David Lee Murphy)

Just a dot on a road map

Nowhere is where we're at

My daddy worked nearly all his life

Just to get here, imagine that

I love you baby and I always will

But please make no mistake

Watchin' paint dry on a Friday night

Is just a bit more tha I can take

I need a fast horse

I'll take a slow train

Gimme a window seat on an airplane

I need a ticket somewhere

And it needs to be far away

They say a wild heart

Will get you so far

And I'm thinkin' that you need a head start

So if you're comin' with me

Baby you're gonna need a fast horse

Tick-tock of the town clock

Never slows down and it don't stop

You only get one time around

And there's not time for a second thought

If you're gonna keep up with somebody like me

Who's way past thinkin' that it's time to leave

If you wait around I'll be gone

On the first thing I get my hands on

I need a fast horse

I'll take a slow train

Gimme a window seat on an airplane

I need a ticket somewhere

And it needs to be far away

They say a wild heart

Will get you so far

And I'm thinkin' that you need a head start

So if you're comin' with me

Baby you're gonna need a fast horse

I need a fast horse

I'll take a slow train

Give me a fast horse

A fast horse
