High Horse

Indigo Girls · Other Songs - Indigo Girls

You had your chance to show affection

You had your chance to give me more

And now that she's found new direction

You make your way to my back door



What makes you think the whole world wants you?

Give steel a kiss and it will bend

The flesh is weak and when it's all been said and done

The spirit's all that's left in the end



If you have to saddle your high horse

Go on and ride out of my sight

(Ride out of my sight)

You never had the time of day for me, you know

And now you want to spend the night



You're big with the come on like it's no big deal

No big deal to you

You let the wild wind blow your course

(Wild wind blow your course)

I do not want the dirt from your shoes

Or from the hooves of your high horse



The way I see it there are few things left

To hold on to and keep your head, yeah

When it's your sense of humor and integrity

There's nothing funny about what's being said



There was a day when I would let myself be trampled

As long as it was done by you

(As long as it was done by you)

But I took so much abuse now I've had ample

There's no way that you'll break through



If you have to saddle your high horse

Go on and ride out of my sight

(Ride out of my sight)

You never had the time of day for me you know

And now you want to spend the night



You're big with the come on like it's no big deal

No big deal to you

You let the wild wind blow your course

(Wild wind blow your course)

I do not want the dirt from your shoes

Or from the hooves of your high horse



You had your chance to show affection

(You had your chance to show me some affection)

You had your chance to give me more

(You had your chance to give me more, baby)

And now that she's found new direction

You make your way to my back door



What makes you think the whole world wants you?

Give steel a kiss and it will bend

The flesh is weak and when it's all been said and done

The spirit's all that's left in the end



If you have to saddle your high horse

Go on and ride out of my sight

(Ride out of my sight)

You never had the time of day for me, you know

And now you want to spend the night



You're big with the come on like it's no big deal

No big deal to you

You let the wild wind blow your course

(Wild wind blow your course)

I do not want the dirt from your shoes

Or from the hooves of your high horse



I do not want the dirt from your shoes

Or from the hooves of your high horse

From your high horse

From your high horse, yeah
