Tony Joe White - High Horse
A
You been movin' too fast
Gettin' there too slow
Must be spinning your wheels
C, D
A
Hangin' long and
Ridin' low
Just looking for a place to be still
D A
Maybe there ain't nothing I can do
D
'Cause I'm losing my rhythm
E7
Trying to keep up with you
A
Better get off of your high horse baby
Before you hit the dirt
Better get off of your high horse
Done got your quarter's worth
A
You can whip it hard
You can whip it mean
It don't change a thing
C, D
A
Where you gonna go but up and down
No one hears your scream
D A
I thought that you and me was in tune
D
But you keep on howling when
E7
There ain't no moon
Better get off of your high horse baby
Come on down to earth
Better get off of your high horse
Done got your money's worth
Time flies by and it
Stops so hard and you
Wonder where you been
You can keep on rompin' but
Whatcha gonna do when the
Thrill comes to an end
I hate to tell you baby but your
Saddle's getting kind of loose
I am tired of dealing with your
Nasty attitude
Better get off of your high horse baby
Before you hit the dirt
Better get off of your high horse
Done got your money's worth
Better get off of your high horse baby
Come on down to earth
Better get off of your high horse
Done got your money's worth
A
You been movin' too fast
Gettin' there too slow
Must be spinning your wheels
C, D
