[Verse 1]
There's a golden palomino
She lives in my mind
And she's tame for the most part
But I tell ya sometimes
[Pre-Chorus]
When the clock and the cash get the best of me
Her ties come loose and she breaks free
[Chorus]
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 kickin' up the dust
Runnin' over the canyon
I give into the forces
'Cause I can't hold my horses
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I do my best to rein hΠ΅r in
Yeah, she's off to the racΠ΅s
I try to close my eyes
But it's 2 AM and I'm shakin'
[Pre-Chorus]
She's kinda pretty as she goes
As she takes my breath away
And not in a good way
[Chorus]
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 kickin' up the dust
Runnin' over the canyon
I give into the forces
'Cause I can't hold my horses
[Bridge]
Halfway 'cross the desert, I'm gonna let her ride
In a few days, she'll come back and I'll be fine
[Chorus]
I can't hold my horses
'Cause I ain't that stable
Keep tryin' to break me
But they haven't been able
I keep kickin' up the dust
Runnin' over the canyon
I give into the forces
'Cause I can't hold my horses
[Outro]
I can't hold my horses (Hey)
