Hold My Horses

There's 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 from kicking up the dust
Running over the canyon
I give in to the forces
'Cause I can't hold my horses

Yeah, I do my best to rein her in
Yeah, she's off to the races
I try to close my eyes
But it's 2 a.m. 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
Yeah, I know I oughta break 'em
But I haven't been able
To keep from kicking up the dust
Running over the canyon
I give in to 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

I 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 in to the forces
'Cause I can't hold my horses

I can't hold my horses
