Indian summer, Abilene   You were new in town   I was nineteen and sparks flew      They called us crazy behind our backs   'Romantic fools', we just let them laugh   Because we knew      It may be a long shot   We may be lonely down the line   But love knows no reason   And I won't let them make up my mind      My love is riding on this dark horse, baby   My heart is saying it's the lucky one   And its true color's gonna shine through someday   If we let this, let this dark horse run      Stars are brighter in the desert sky   No need to wonder or justify   Where this will lead      I wear your locket our picture's inside   Inscription says, 'The joy's in the ride'   And I believe      Something so sacred   Is something worth this kind of fight   'Cause love knows no patience   You can't please everyone all the time      My love is riding on this dark horse, baby   My heart is saying it's the lucky one   And its true color's gonna shine through someday   If we let this, let this dark horse run      My love is riding on this dark horse, baby   My heart is saying it's the lucky one   And its true color's gonna shine through someday   If we let this, let this dark horse      My love is riding on this dark horse baby   My heart is saying it's the lucky one   And its true color's gonna shine through someday   If we let this, let this dark horse run      Indian summer, Abilene   You were new in town   I was nineteen and sparks flew
