Song: Stealing Horses
Lyrics:
the only spirits left on the rez
are kept in the bottles we stole,
dead to rights in the eyes of their Lord.
i jimmied the ancient lock
on the widow’s barn door.
i’m out stealing horses again
wild enough to know
wild enough to know
i’ll never be free.
tradition’s just a box of feathers
pawned for a nickel and a dime
so i could buy this bottle of wine,
it’s easy like water
down a slide.
i’m drunk and i’m high
and i don’t give a fuck
just in case you were wondering why . . .
i’m out stealing horses again
wild enough to know
wild enough to know
i’ll never be free.
the darkest parts of this town
never grow old.
i jimmied the same old lock
on the widow’s barn door.
the smell of hay and shit’s
as simple as life:
we get used to anything,
it’s just a matter of time.
i’m out stealing horses again
wild enough to know
wild enough to know
i’ll never be free.
at night i ride these hills and these streets.
it ain’t much of nothing,
but it’s too late now to dream.
the sheriff’s always half-asleep,
but if he ever catches me
i’m wild enough to know
i’m wild enough to know
i’m wild enough to know
i’ll never be free.
