Theres a golden palomino
She lives in my mind
And shes tame for the most part
But I tell ya sometimes
When the clock and the cash get the best of me
Her ties come loose and she breaks free
I cant hold my horses
Cause I aint that stable
And I know I oughta break em
But I havent been able
To keep from kicking up the dust
Running over the canyon
I give in to the forces
Cause I cant hold my horses
Yeah, I do my best to rein her in
Yeah, shes off to the races
I try to close my eyes
But its 2 a.m. and Im shaking
Shes kinda pretty as she goes
As she takes my breath away
And not in a good way
I cant hold my horses
Cause I aint that stable
Yeah, I know I oughta break em
But I havent been able
To keep from kicking up the dust
Running over the canyon
I give in to the forces
Cause I cant hold my horses
Halfway cross the desert, Im gonna let her ride
In a few days shell come back and Ill be fine
I cant hold my horses
Cause I aint that stable
Keep trying to break me
But they havent been able
I keep kicking up the dust
Running over the canyon
I give in to the forces
Cause I cant hold my horses
I cant hold my horses
