A Horse in Town Lyrics by Steely Dan

The Best Of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen

0

[Verse 1]
Left New Hyde Park to hold my own in New York town
Groped in the dark until I faced the place where scallywags are found
Sharks and yo-yos everywhere
Baby, you can take it from there
[Chorus]
Now, there's a horse in town
Eyes of green, haunches chestnut brown
Yes, there's a horse in town
So saddle up and ride, ride, ride
Can you reveal the day he came, the day he'll go?
This way I feel, the time is moving much too slow
When he passes by your tent
You’ll be glad when night is spent
[Chorus]
Now, there's a horse in town
Eyes of green, haunches chestnut brown
Yes, there's a horse in town
So saddle up and ride, ride, ride, ride
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
The shoes of my friend
They stomp his name into the ground
Let's not pretend
We know with all that fearsome sound
Following my frozen trail
Moving to the inside rail
[Chorus]
Now, there's a horse in town
Eyes of green, haunches chestnut brown
Yes, there's a horse in town
So saddle up and ride, ride, ride, ride
Saddle up and ride (saddle up and ride)
Saddle up and ride (saddle up and ride)
Saddle up and ride (saddle up and ride)
Saddle up and ride (saddle up and ride)
