Ain't It a Shame (When Your Horse Goes Lame)

by Wild Earp & The Free for Alls

/

lyrics

Well, I was celebratin’ I was buying the drinks
No time for second guessin’ or for stoppin’ to think
Shots and cocktails, top shelf, off the rail
The cost didn’t make a lick of difference to me
But the ATM statement stated payment might be painful and it turned this ol’ wild boy tame

Well, ain’t it a shame when your horse goes lame

I met the girl of my dreams
Man, she had everything that I ever could want in a woman
I was thinkin’ up house bids, I was namin’ our kids
Fallin’ in love is what I was doin’
Then her fella came over, and he gave her a kiss, shook my hand and he told me his name

Well, ain’t it a shame when your horse goes lame

The very image of grace, man I looked so ace
Head to toe tip-top and I knew it
Had on my brand new duds, I was soakin’ up the suds
And the vibe was gold, but I blew it
I caught my loop on a hook and that was all that it took to tear my pants and ruin my game

Well, ain’t it a shame when your horse goes lame

My feet were gettin’ fancy as I was romancin’
Dancin’ with this gal that was out of sight
All that liquor made the courtship quicker
And she suggested I ought to spend the night
Well, she tried her best but when I was put to the test I failed and the whiskey’s to blame

Well, ain’t it a shame when your horse goes lame
Ain’t it a shame when your horse goes lame
Ain’t it a shame when your horse goes lame
I said, ain’t it a shame when your horse goes lame
