Pretty Horses Run Lyrics by Krista Detor

PRETTY HORSES RUN
© Krista Detor, Cover Their Eyes

The Studebaker plant is closing down
Chevy's taken over the town
How will we watch the sun go down
Now that the moon is rising, rising

And sitting on the old tin roof
You hold her hand a little tighter
In the way that you do
And you beg her not to leave
'Cause you still believe in forever

All the pretty horses run, watch them go
Racing with the cars and trucks down the long road home

Your horse has jumped a fence in the field
And the minute that you catch him you'll regret it
'Cause you know how it feels in your bones
The need to run alone on the wind –
Like you’re the only thing that's ever been

All the pretty horses run, watch them go
Racing with the cars and trucks down the long road home

Tonight you'll open up a book in the dark
And you'll dream yourself a story that
No one'll ever read but you
By the light of the moon

The Studebaker plant is closing down
Your horse is running loose in the town
How will we watch the sun go down
Now that the moon is rising, rising

And sliding down the old tin roof
You catch your hand on the metal
But you lie like you do
And you beg her not to leave
'Cause you still believe in forever

All the pretty horses run, watch them go
Racing with the cars and trucks down the long road home
All the pretty horses run, watch them go
Racing with the setting sun on the long road home
