unbridled reins - chuck brodsky lyrics

Loading...

there lived an old horse trainer – who used to work for the man
who owned about 25 stables - on 25 pieces of land
whose name was mr. hardy – the trainer’s name was gus
hardy’s business was racing – and he owned the 2 of us

gus, he hated racing – it was the horses that he loved
every time mr. hardy would come around – he’d pretend like he was being tough
he called him heartless hardy – cussed him underneath his breath
for the breeding of the horses – and the running them to death

my father, he was famous – he won the triple crown
mama won 5 ribbons – at a horse show back in town
i sold for a million – on the day i was born
i was going to be a champion – mr. hardy was sure

well, they pumped me up one morning – with something the officials would never detect
i remember that cold steel needle – spending a lifetime in my neck
i never knew that race was fixed – only that i was supposed to win
the jockey was tall in his saddle – his breath was stinking of gin

he pushed me a little bit too hard – i stumbled & i shattered my leg
mr. hardy called in a specialist – who said i’d never race again
he said my promise, it was broken – mr. hardy, sipping on champagne…
ordered me out of my misery – but i was too numb to feel any pain

my father, he was famous – he won the triple crown
mama won 5 ribbons – at a horse show back in town
i sold for a million – on the day i was born
i was going to be a champion – mr. hardy was sure

they led me out to the stables – where that mercy k!lling would be done
i was thinking about what might’ve been – & all that i might’ve won
thinking about being put out to pasture – when my time might’ve finally come
and remembering how before i could walk, they were teaching me how to run

i saw they were going to shoot me – i don’t know why they would
i couldn’t run any more races – so i guess that made me no good
mr. hardy handed gus the rifle – gus, he cried & he stroked my mane
that was the last thing i remember – before gus unbridled my reins

my father, he was famous – he won the triple crown
mama won 5 ribbons – at a horse show back in town
i sold for a million – on the day i was born
i was going to be a champion – mr. hardy was sure
