When Horsepower Meant What It Said
Sandi Thom · The Best Of Sandi Thom [2009]
Caught in the gridlock nose to tail across all lanes
Smog nearly choking me as the car horns go insane
Cuz they've patiently waited to get their old jobs back
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs
[Chorus]
How easily forgotten
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels
But I can't put my foot down and jump the fences in the fields
Cuz they're patiently waited to get their old jobs back
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs
How easily forgotten
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
And if we're keeping up with progress, why am I still standing still
Maybe we should take a walk and talk to the horses on the hill
How easily forgotten
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
Smog nearly choking me as the car horns go insane
Cuz they've patiently waited to get their old jobs back
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs
[Chorus]
How easily forgotten
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels
But I can't put my foot down and jump the fences in the fields
Cuz they're patiently waited to get their old jobs back
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs
How easily forgotten
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
And if we're keeping up with progress, why am I still standing still
Maybe we should take a walk and talk to the horses on the hill
How easily forgotten
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
