Cowboy Junkies - A horse in the country

^AThe money would be pretty good if a ^Equart of milk were still a dollar ^BmOr even if a quart of milk were ^Astill a quart. And the ^Dhours, well, I don't mind how they ^Acreep on by like an old love of mine it's ^Bmthe years that simply ^Edisappear that are doing me ^Ain.

^DGuess I ^Emarried too young, yeah, ^Anineteen was just too ^Dyoung, ^Bmbut sometimes you meet someone and your ^Aguts just burn. ^DIt's not that I don't love him ^Eanymore it's just ^Athat when I hear him coming ^Dthrough that front door my ^Bmheart doesn't ^Erace like it did once ^Abefore.

^DMmmmmmm.......But I've got a ^Dmhorse out in the ^Acountry. Ahhh ^Bmyeah, I get to ^Esee him, ^Devery second ^ASunday. ^DHe comes when I ^Bmcall, ^Dmyeah, he knows his ^Aname. ^BmSome day I'll ^Esaddle up and the ^Bmtwo of us will ^Eride ^Aaway. ^{E Bm}

^AThis weather I could almost stand if the ^Esun would shine a little brighter ^Bmor even if the sun would shine at ^Aall. ^DBut lately it ^Eseems to me that this ^Alife has lost its ^Dmystery and these ^Bmcold fall mornings seem to ^Ebite just a little bit ^Ahard

^BmAnd all my friends have ^Esettled down become ^Bmmothers and fathers ^Awithout a sound. Except for ^ECathy, she bought a ^Done way [pause] subway ^Eticket and left us ^Aall behind.

^AThis town wouldn't be so bad if a ^Egirl could trust her instincts ^Bmor even if a ^Egirl could trust a ^Aboy.
