Especially A Paint

There's something about horses, especially a paint
 Whenever I see horses it reminds me of what I ain't
 'Cause I am not your lover now and I may never be
 But with a couple pinto ponies how things go we'll have to see
 'Cause they're hitched outside to the
 rail right now and their silver jangles free
 And the saddlebags are snugged right down, sugar, ride away with me
 There's something about horses, especially a paint
 Whenever I see horses I see a sadness in their face
 I was raised with the West around, enough to hum the tune
 But I never knew the place like the
 old boys did chinooked and mountain viewed
 'Cause this was all a cathedral then and the cowboys, they all knew
 That you can't keep a loop on paradise but she disappeared so soon
 She disappeared so soon
 There's something about horses, especially a paint
 Whenever I see horses I see a path I didn't take
