Intro
You had your chance to show affection
You had your chance to give me more
And now that she's found new direction
You make your way to my back door
What makes you think the whole world wants you
Give steel a kiss and it will bend
The flesh is weak, but when it all is said and done
The spirit's all that's left in the end
If you have to saddle your high horse
Go on and ride out of my (ride out of my sight)
You never had the time of day for me, no
And now you want to spend the night
You're big with the come-on like it's no big deal (no big deal to you)
You let the wild wind blow your (wild wind blow your course)
I do not want the dirt from your shoes or from the hooves
Of your high horse
The way I see it, there are few things left
To hold on to and keep your head, yeah
And it's your sense of humor and integrity (??)
There's nothing funny about what's being said
And there was a day when I would let myself be trampled
As long as it was done by you (as long as it was done by you)
But I took so much abuse, now I've had ample
There's no way that you'll break through
If you have to saddle your high horse
Go on and ride out of my (ride out of my sight)
You never had the time of day for me, no
And now you want to spend the night
You're big with the come-on like it's no big deal (no big deal to you)
You let the wild wind blow your (wild wind blow your course)
I do not want the dirt from your shoes or from the hooves
Of your high horse
[guitar solo, & ]
You had your chance to show (you had your chance to show me some affection)
You had your chance to (you had your chance to give me more, baby)
Now that she's found (now that your girl found new direction)
You make your way to my back door
What makes you think the whole world wants you, oh yeah
Give steel a kiss and it will bend, baby
The flesh is weak, but when it's all been said and done
The spirit's all that's left in the end, yeah
If you have to saddle your high horse
You go on and ride out of my (ride out of my sight)
You never had the time of day for me, no you didn't
And now you want to spend the night
You're big with the come-on like it's no big deal (no big deal to you)
You let the wild wind blow your (wild wind blow your course)
I do not want the dirt from your shoes or from the hooves
Of your high horse
I do not want the dirt from your shoes or from the hooves
Of your high horse, high horse
From your high horse, high horse
From your high horse, yeah [end on Am]
