Hold Your Horses

Two wheels a ten speed

Downhill John Street

I can still hear my old man sayin

Son you better slow down

A first car sixteen

Old Ford but new to me

He took those keys

After word of my first ticket got around

But ever since I brought her home

He's saying something different now

Boy you don't want to hold your horses

You don't wanna take this one slow

You only get one this close to perfect

And it's true what they say you know you know

So give her that white picket fence

Couple dogs in the yard

Drive that old pickup so she can have a new car

A pine wood swing out front where the wrap around porch is

And a place to hold her horses

So move fast

And don't wait

Be too little

Or too late

Don't let her be the one that got away

Don't take all day

Boy you don't want to hold your horses

You don't wanna take this one slow

You only get one this close to perfect

And it's true what they say you know you know

So give her that white picket fence

Couple dogs in the yard

Drive that old pickup so she can have a new car

A pine wood swing out front where the wrap around porch is

And a place to hold her horses

So find a spot fifty acre lot

And break ground as soon as you can

The best advice I ever got

Came from my old man

He said

You don't want to hold your horses

Don't take this one slow

You only get one this close to perfect

And it's true what they say you know you know

So give her that white picket fence

Couple dogs in the yard

Drive that old pickup so she can have a new car

A pine wood swing out front where the wrap around porch is

And a place to hold her horses

(Sixteen old Ford new to me)

A place to hold her horses

(Don't let her be the one that got away don't take all day)
