"Horse Poor" lyrics

"Horse Poor"
(feat. Jaida Dreyer)

Folks think you're rich
When they see you got horses
Well that might be true
If my income sources
Weren't eaten up
Every month on the boardage
For all of our four-legged friends

My accountant says
That my funds are depleted
But I keep my wealth
Right where I can see it
In pastures and barns
And in show arenas
Because of the money she spends

Well horse poor, horse poor
I sell one she buys two more
Luxuries we could afford
If we was rich and not horse poor

Well he must have forgot
The show where he met me
He said the way I sat
My saddle was sexy
He said a cowgirl like me
Was worth every penny
Better start making sense now my dear

You can build me a barn
And it better be heated
With a whole lotta stalls
And hire some kid to clean it
Buy me a stud
And smile when you feed it
Cause we're just getting started 'round here

Well horse poor, horse poor
I sell one she buys three more
Luxuries we could afford
If we was rich and not horse poor

By the power invested
In me by the pony
You should be saddled
In this matrimony
I now pronounce you
Man wife and horses
You can kiss all your money goodbye

Well horse poor, horse poor
I sell one she buys four more
Luxuries we could afford
If we was rich and not horse poor

Horse poor, horse poor
I sell one she buys four more
Luxuries we could afford
If we was rich and not horse poor
