Half-Broke Horses Lyrics by Jaida Dreyer

I Am Jaida Dreyer

0

An empty pack of Marlboro reds
Sitting by the bed
I can still see Mama crying on the phone
And I sorta still remember who I was that September
Before she told me he was really gone
I ran and got my plastic ponies
But he just kept on going
I thought he'd turn around
But I know better now
Oooh, you can't fence 'em in
Oooh, they were born to run and then
You think you got them where you want 'em
Then they leave you all alone
Half broke horses
They never come back home
I've tried hard not to be like Mama
But blood's thicker than water
And I feel for the way he said my name
We made love wild and crazy
He wanted me to have his baby
But I should've known
There's something you can't change
I stood on the front porch crying
But he just kept on driving
I thought he'd turn around
But I know better now
Oooh, you can't fence 'em in
Oooh, they were born to run and then
You think you got them where you want 'em
Then they leave you all alone
Half broke horses
They never come back home
Now I watch that little girl
By the window as she plays
Those plastic ponies are a story
That she'll have to hear someday
She's gonna need to hear me say
You can't fence 'em in, no, no
'Cause they were born to run and then
You think you got them where you want 'em
Then they leave you all alone
Half broke horses
They never come back home
Half broke horses
They never come back home
