Horse by The Cowmen Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I had a horse
Eighteen years old
I had a horse
His name was Steel Roll
That horse was a mean horse
Hoof strong
Eyes of red flame
His soul was black as coal
I rode into war with him
Through hell and back again
Through death and glory

[Hook]
Saddle up!
Saddle up!
Saddle up!

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
We got lost in the desert
No way to get home
Steel Roll was dyin'
I was starvin' (You gotta eat!)
Steel Roll, he looked at me
"You know what you gotta do."
I killed my only friend that night
So I could make it out alive
I had a horse (I had a horse)
He tasted like a broken man
[Hook]
Saddle up!

[Outro]
I had a horse...
