The money would be pretty good if a quart of milk were still a dollar   Or even if a quart of milk was still a quart   And the hours,well, I don't mind how they creep on by   like an old love of mine it's the years that simply disappear   that are doing me in      Guess I married too young, yeah 19 was just too young   but sometimes you meet someone and your guts just burn   It's not that I don't love him anymore   It's just that when I hear him coming through that front door   my heart doesn't race like it did once before      But I got a horse out in the country    I get to see him every second Sunday   He comes when I call him, yeah, he knows his name   one day i'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away      This weather I could almost stand if the sun would shine a little brighter   or even if the sun would shine at all   But lately it just seems to me that this life has lost its mystery   and these cold fall mornings seem to bite just a little bit harder      And all my friends have settled down    become their mothers and their fathers without a sound   except for Cathy, she bought a one-way subway ticket   and left us all behind      But I got a horse out in the country    I get to see him every second Sunday   He comes when I call him, yeah, he knows his name   one day i'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away      This town wouldn't be so bad if a girl could trust her instincts   or even if a girl could trust a boy
