HORSE BOYS
Copyright Michael E. Walker 1999
Revised Sept. 18, 1999

Open G Tuning

Verse 1

The girls want you when you’re not around.
When they’re with you they say that they’ve found…
their search is over.
I don’t know what they see.
They like to watch you boys down by the barn, what you do there
don’t look like fun.
What am I missing?
I just can’t see.
If horse boys are what you’re after,
put some boots on me.

Chorus (instrumental)

Verse 2

The scent you’re wearing: horse sweat cologne.
The clothes you’re wearing look like they’ve been cloned…
some cheap western movie.
Somebody help me to see.
It’s a given you know how to ride.
To hear them talking, what they describe
it’s not what I’m seeing.
How could that be?
If horse boys are what you’re after
slap a hat on me.

Chorus (instrumental)

Bridge

Ah these boots feel good to me.
I want to ride all night.

Final Verse

Move too quickly, dust storms your head.
Could it be your bay thoroughbred?
The girls adore you,
no it just can’t be.
You’re the topic at night by the fire.
They say they love you
… a heart’s desire.
The girls have spoken.
It’s horse boys they need.
If horse boys are what you’re after
put some boots on me.
If horse boys are what you’re after
that’s who I’ll be.
If horse boys are what you’re needing
slap a hat on me.

Outro

I wanna ride
Ride through the night.
