Lyrics: The Only Horse In Town

I have the presidential suite

In Joe's Motel over there

Joe's long gone incidentally

Along with everyone else

Even the gypsies have left

With everything they could carry, of course

They took all they need

Except for a clapped-out, knock-kneed, bony, old horse

Now, I've got the place to myself

I stand and look around

At this home that fell from the sky for me

And the only horse in town

So, I look at the horse, and he looks at me

I can tell we have an understanding almost immediately

We have been through the mill

Last few years, have been grinding uphill

Now we found some hay in the barn

And pure clean water down in the well

Now the cold wind's blowing somewhere else

We be safe and sound

In the last place on earth for me

And the only horse in town

We got nothing to hang on the wall

And that's better than nothing at all

I'm in the bar contemplating

And he's outside at the rail

Simply waiting

And swishing his tail

We don't need any more

Tell the truth that was always the case

But now we live in a world of our own

We can do what we want at our own sweet pace

And now there's no more misery

We're close to the ground

With a life of luxury for me

And the only horse in town

Yes, I have a home to call my own

I stand and look around

It's the last place on earth for me

And the only horse in town
