Ray Wylie Hubbard
Stone Blind Horses
[Verse 1]
There are some saints that have been forgotten
Like most of my drunken prayers
They say there's a heaven, it is somewhere above the yonder
Where there's no more crosses to bear
[Verse 2]
And now there's ghosts all along the highway
And there's storms out on the sea
My only hope is that somewhere in that heaven
Someone's sayin' a prayer for me
[Chorus]
I've been ridin' stone blind horses
Never seen a reason to believe
Hey sweet Genevieve, say a prayer for me
These wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours, and thieves
[Verse 3]
The high-slurred whistle of a redwing blackbird
Sounds like he's singing, oh, that I might die
It is a song for those that have fallen
Unrepentant with no more alibis
[Chorus]
I've been ridin' stone blind horses
Never seen a reason to believe
Hey sweet Genevieve, say a prayer for me
These wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours, and thieves
Oh, these wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours and thieves
