There 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 em from kicking up the dust
Running over the canyon
I give into the forces
Cause I can’t hold my horses
Do my best to rein her in
Ya she’s off to the races
Try to close my eyes
But it’s 2 am and I’m shaking
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
And I know I oughta break em
But I haven’t been able
To keep em from kicking up the dust
Running 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
Can’t hold my horses
Cause I ain’t that stable
Keep trying to break me
But they haven’t been able
I keep kicking up the dust
Running over the canyon
I give into the forces
Cause I can’t hold my horses
I can’t hold my horses
