A Horse in the Country
By the Cowboy Junkies
off Black-Eyed Man
1991
************************************
The money would be pretty good if a quart of milk were still a dollar
A E
Or even if a quart of milk were still a quart
Bm A
And the hours well, I don't mind
D
How they creep on by like an old love of mine
A
Its the years that simply disappear that are doing me in
Bm E A
Guess I married too young, yeah nineteen was just too young
Bm E A D
But sometimes you meet someone and you;re guts just burn
Bm A
Its not that I dont love him anymore
D E
Its just that when I hear him coming through that front door
A D
My heart doesnt race like it did once before
Bm E A
But I got a horse out in the country
D Dm A
I get to see him every second Sunday
Dsus4 E D A
He comes when I call him Yeah he knowshis name
Bm E Dm A
One day I'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away
D E D A
The weather I could almost stand
If the sun would shine a little brighter
Or even if the sun would shine at all
But lately it seems to me that this life has lost its mystery
and these cold fall mornings seem to bite just a little bit harder
All my friends have settled down
Becoming mothers and fathers without a sound
Except for Cathy, she bought a one way subway ticket
and left us all behind
Chorus
This town wouldnt be so bad
If a girl could trust her instincts
Or even if a girl could trust a boy
