On times like this I gotta ride my sweet, sweet pony   I got a cartload to carry up & down your hill   I gotta take some booze, quench remorse and dance around in your bones   Once the shivering cargo is unload   Call me at the break of down at Sue’s house   Meet me on the other riverside   Where your roses leave me high on thorns of sorrow   Where the sunburn warms my thoughts and makes them die   Don’t you ever try to break me   I ain’t horsing no-one for a dime   Honey don’t you ever try to tell me my horses change color all the time   I’m only talking horse with the boys here   Do you know how to give a decent horse his head   The dogs are all asleep, they need no warning   I’ll never ride a willing horse to death   Don’t you ever try to break me   I ain’t horsing no-one for a dime   Honey, don’t you ever try to tell me my horses change color all the time
