Spookin’ the Horses
by Fred Eaglesmith
You’re spookin’ the horses, they’re wild and they’re scared,
with that bright colored makeup, and those clothes that you wear,
and I seen you dancing, last night ‘neath the trees.
You’re spookin’ the horses and you’re scaring me.
Where the road meets the highway, those bright city lights,
must have shone through your windshield, and got into your eyes,
and I guess you thought that they’d set you free.
You’re spookin’ the horses and you’re scaring me.
You’re not tying your hair back anymore,
and you’re wearing dresses, like you never before,
and you’re driving faster than I’ve ever seen.
You’re spookin’ the horses and you’re scaring me.
I can hear the gears grinding, where you make the turn,
and up on the skyline, those headlights just burn,
and the horses go running, and my heart just screams.
You’re spookin’ the horses and you’re scaring me.
You’re spookin’ the horses and you’re scaring me.
