lyrics

He comes to me on bareback,
with a parcel of a spur and a ring.
He says, "the horses they don’t run for me
since you’re gone."

Pull another chair up,
for Friday wasn’t so long ago,
and the press of your jean on my knee
still shows.

Cowboy hat and long black hair,
red and purple wagon...
Sarsaparilla, hear my prayer,
ride me ‘til I break in.
Cowboy hat and long black hair...

Too bad about the capsize, baby.
I heard it in town.
Did you drive out your last tank and love
chasing a runaround?

We’re lucky there were no children
to tie us to the post.
You tell me what you mean by lying
so close.

Cowboy hat and long black hair,
red and purple wagon...
Sarsaparilla, hear my prayer,
ride me ‘til I break in.
Cowboy hat and long black hair...

I’m a sucker for a needy rider.
I’m a slow jane.
I’m the one who takes the nightwatch over
your pain.
