Lyle Lovett - Natural Forces lyrics

rate me

I rode across the great high plain <br />Under the scorchin' sun and thru the drivin' rain <br />An' when I set my sights on the mountains high <br />I bid my former life goodbye. <br /> <br />An' so thank you ma'am, I must decline <br />For it's on my steed I will rely <br />An' I've learned to need the open sky <br />I'm subject to the natural forces <br />Home is where my horse is. <br /> <br />We loaded up in Buffalo <br />Took 90s (?) out (?) down to Ohio <br />On any Western Frisco-bound <br />An' when I git there I'll turn back around <br /> <br />An' so thank you ma'am, I must decline <br />For it's on these eighteen wheels I ride <br />An' I've learned to need the western sky <br />I'm subject to the natural forces <br />Home is where my horse is. <br /> <br />And ev'ry year they come to town <br />An' then drag em on right in the round <br />And Mr Bradley calls the score <br />And the cowboy there who tried for more <br /> <br />So thank you ma'am, I must decline <br />For it's on my three-year-old I ride <br />An' I've spin an' run an' stopped an' slide (?) <br />I'm subject to the natural forces <br />Home is where my horse is. <br /> <br />(Instrumental) <br /> <br />The Cherokee an' the Chickasaw <br />Creek Seminole an' the old Chocktaw <br />"We volunteered to move!" they say <br />"And we'll understand, come Judgement Day". <br /> <br />An' so thank you ma'am, I must decline <br />For it's on this trail of tears I ride <br />An' I've done the road, the homeless sky <br />Sometimes at night I hear their voices <br />Home is where my horse is. <br /> <br />Now as I sit here safe at home <br />With a cold Coors Lite an' the TV on <br />All the sacrifice and the death and woe <br />Lord I pray that I'm worth fighting for <br /> <br />An' so thank you ma'am, I must decline <br />For it's on my RPG I ride <br />Till Earth an' hell are satisfied <br />I'm subject to the natural forces <br />Sometimes at night I hear their voices <br />Home is where my horse is. <br />Home is where my horse is.<br /><br />
