History’s chock full of wisdom
in matters involving the heart
There are unions meant to be broken
and some that should never start
You can fall for a woman who’s taken
Or a mistress feeling remorse
But you don’t want to ever encounter
a gal who’s in love with her horse
Don’t fall for a girl who fell for a horse
just to be number two in her world
Run from that stable
as fast as you’re able
Don’t hitch up her trailer
your pickup’ll fail her
Don’t do battle
when she’s in the saddle
Run from that stable now
from that horseback riding girl
Some men won the heart of a mermaid
but never of Catherine the Great
A royal with love for a stallion
a pair they could not separate
Suffer through National Velvet
Then you may just know why
A sober Elizabeth Taylor
fell for a beast named Pie
Chorus
You don’t get between a Queen and her throne
You don’t get between a dog and her bone
Don’t get between the sole of a shoe and a stone
And there’s one pair you’ll leave alone
You can chew on the grass of Kentucky
but it won’t sprout you two or more legs
You won’t catch the speed of a Filly
from strappin on their food bags
You can trot through Eastern Virginia
Gallop Chincoteague on all fours
She ain’t gonna call you Wild Fire
Might as well stay ashore
‘cause fella you ain’t no horse
