The Horse Accident (In Which a Girl Was All But Killed) - Goodnight, Texas

The Horse Accident

Appaulacian dust from the horse that she was riding

made it it hard to see her thru the tepid summer air.

I wore my finest derby hat to gather her attention

and I wanted nothing more than to follow her somewhere.

It took her near a year to break the shackels of a past love.

I said she would never hurt as long as she is with me.

Those cold winter walls thru a springtime window

There is warm hearts living where you would never think they would be.

Oh, Lord let me die first I can not be without her.

Hope I never live to see her cascet lined with lace.

She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer.

If you need another worker you can take me in her place.

(pause)…

I heard the people talk about a girl falling from her horse.

Down from the saddle in a terrible display

and the mud stained the dirt-- Dirt had skined the girl

the girl that they didn’t think she would live another day.

Oh, Lord let me die first I can not be without her.

I hope I never live to see her cascet lined with lace.

She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer.

If you need another worker you can take me in her place.

(pause)…

She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer.

If you need another worker you can take me in her place.

Oh, Lord let me die first I can not be without her.

I hoped I never live to see her cascet lined with lace.

She deserves to thrive on this earth a little longer.

If you need another worker you can take me in her place.

Oh, Lord let me die first …

(pause)

Oh, Lord let me die first …
