Thought I knew
Where this was a goin'
Sure read the signs wrong
She was a showin'
All I could see
Was her blue eyes a blinkin'
'Than' I started to fall in love
What was I a thinkin'
My horse has never
Thrown me so hard
I 'spected us to be forever
'Than' she done turned her last card
Cashed in stood up and
Just walked away
Leaving me holding an empty bag
Not knowing what to say
I still have my horse
Of course
But only half less
Of the mess she left
