When Horses Die Lyrics

Don't go out there

She's dead and gone

The rest of the horses are restless

Thundering feet on the ground

In the light of moon they'll run

In circles till dawn

The dust won't settle till morning

The white of their eyes will shine

In the tall bahia grass

She laid down and breathed her last

Took to the sky like Pegasus

And went home

Lay on down

You're free to go now

Spread your wings

Fly home Rosie

There's never a good time

For horses to die

Their bodies are too heavy

To heave them into a hole

She was a show girl from Atlanta

That never slowed down

Head held high on the dirt road

Foaming at the mouth

In the tall bahia grass

She laid down and breathed her last

Took to the sky like Pegasus

And went home

Lay on down

You're free to go now

Spread your wings

Fly home Rosie
