"Someone Else's Horses" lyrics

Hang me like a chain of precious metal 'round your neck
Tuck me in your shirt at night and take me to your bed
I know there is no substitute, I take what I can get
Sleep upon your beating heart, covered in your sweat

Mama's asking when will I be done with California
Said I'm looking for true love
I'm really looking for ya
Saw a new apartment in a better neighborhood
Might've had some updates
That don't mean it's good

My my, hey hey
Loneliness is here to stay
Hey hey, my my
Love for you will never die

If I do more with these three chords
Than you ever do with all your toys
I'll get a little closer to the banquet with the good ol' boys
Am I barreling or barely hanging on? I never force it
Even when I'm riding someone else's horses

My my, hey hey
Loneliness is here to stay
Hey hey, my my
Love for you will never die

Hang me like a chain of precious metal 'round your neck
Tuck me in your shirt at night and take me to your bed
I know there is no substitute, I take what I can get
Sleep upon your beating heart, covered in your sweat

My my, hey hey
Loneliness is here to stay
Hey hey, my my
Love for you will never die
