lyrics

Walking up the trail that winds the hillside
and finds the top of the abandoned lead mine,
the stony bluff that overlooks the distant flats,
you looked real tough under your giftshop cowboy hat.

Aren’t you tired of chasing horses?
Haven’t seen one in a while.
Catch the door before it closes,
and you can save your crooked smile.

Giving it up: I don’t want to drink with you no more.
I’ve had enough of talking on the kitchen floor.
In Colorado you had a chance to get out clean.
It’s hard to swallow that you’d prefer the fever dream.

Aren’t you tired of chasing horses?
Haven’t seen one in a while.
Catch the door before it closes,
and you can save your crooked smile.

Cover it up: the thought you had the night before,
the empty cup, the path across the bedroom floor.
There’s a reminder that swells and drags the street outside:
You could be kinder, you have a chance to change your mind.

Aren’t you tired of chasing horses?
Haven’t seen one in a while.
Catch the door before it closes,
and you can save your crooked smile.
