The Horse Accident (In Which a Girl Was All But Killed)
Appalachian dust from the horse that she was riding
Made it hard to see her thru the tepid summer air
I wore my finest derby hat to gather her attention
And I wanted nothing more than to follow her somewhere
It took her near a year to break the shackles' of a past love
I said she would never hurt as long as she is with me
Those cold winter walls thru a springtime window
There is warm hearts living where you would never think they would be
Oh, Lord let me die first, I cannot be without her
I hope I'll never live to see her casket lined with lace
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker you can take me in her place
I heard the people talk about a girl falling from her horse
Down from the saddle in a terrible display
And the blood stained the dirt
The dirt had skinned the girl
The girl, they didn't think that she would live another day
Oh, Lord let me die first, I can't be without her
I hope I never live to see her casket lined with lace
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker you can take me in her place
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker you can take me in her place
Oh, Lord let me die first, I cannot be without her
I hoped I never live to see her casket lined with lace
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker you can take me in her place
Oh, Lord let me die first
Oh, Lord let me die first
Made it hard to see her thru the tepid summer air
I wore my finest derby hat to gather her attention
And I wanted nothing more than to follow her somewhere
It took her near a year to break the shackles' of a past love
I said she would never hurt as long as she is with me
Those cold winter walls thru a springtime window
There is warm hearts living where you would never think they would be
Oh, Lord let me die first, I cannot be without her
I hope I'll never live to see her casket lined with lace
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker you can take me in her place
I heard the people talk about a girl falling from her horse
Down from the saddle in a terrible display
And the blood stained the dirt
The dirt had skinned the girl
The girl, they didn't think that she would live another day
Oh, Lord let me die first, I can't be without her
I hope I never live to see her casket lined with lace
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker you can take me in her place
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker you can take me in her place
Oh, Lord let me die first, I cannot be without her
I hoped I never live to see her casket lined with lace
She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer
If you need another worker you can take me in her place
Oh, Lord let me die first
Oh, Lord let me die first
