My Horse Only Came In Show

Art Paul Schlosser · Reinventing Myself

Talk about a depressing song and here's another great depressing song

I wrote about a guy losing his girlfriend

and then her coming back into his life as a friend

and wow well anyways here it goes it's called My Horse Only Came in Show.



I haven't seen you in years

And I still feel the tears

And why you ever did come back

What it just to reveal the fact



*Chorus

It's over

It's over

And I never did find no 4 leaf clover

No pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

My horse it only came in show

I bet on it to win

By like a basketball that only hits the rim

It doesn't score a point

My life is out of joint-oint-oint



I didn't win the game

I feel so full of shame

I'd cry out your name

But I can't remember was it Jill or Jane



I feel so full of pain

I want to walk all day in the rain

Like Buddy Holly's plane

Or missing the last train*



I'd call you up today

I bet I know just what you'd say

You'd probable hang up anyway

So I guess it's safe to say-ay-ay*
