A Horse I Couldn't Ride

(Intro)

I remember a day
Not so long ago
When I staggered on down
To the rodeo
See my buddies had bet me
The previous night
That they had finally found
A horse I couldn’t ride

Well let me tell you something…

(Begin song lyrics)

[chorus]
It was a horse I couldn’t ride
Three-legged and only one eye
Bucked off every cowboy
In the blink of his eye
That darned horse I couldn’t ride

I came up to him,
He was still in his pen
Eyed me with his good eye
While I was looking at him
I came around his side
Noticed something wrong
He only had three legs
The other was gone!

I laughed out loud
Cause I thought it was funny
So he whacked me with his stump thinking
“Bring it on buddy”
I jumped on his back
Ready to ride
You know an ambulance looks different
When you’re on the inside

[repeat chorus]
It was a horse I couldn’t ride
Three-legged and only one eye
Bucked off every cowboy
In the blink of his eye
That darned horse I couldn’t ride

Some called him thunder
Some called him stud
I call him something different
With a finger stickin up
He wasn’t much for looks
But boy he was a pisser
My ex-wife tried to ride him
Tell you what…I don’t miss her!

[repeat chorus]
It was a horse I couldn’t ride
Three-legged and only one eye
Bucked off every cowboy
In the blink of his eye
That darned horse I couldn’t ride

So I did what any good cowboy would do
I brought him home from that rodeo zoo
Gave him a home, a nice place to stay
The only good thing about him is he can’t run away.

[repeat chorus]
It was a horse I couldn’t ride
Three-legged and only one eye
Bucked off every cowboy
In the blink of his eye
That darned horse I couldn’t ride
