Lyrics Fred Eaglesmith

Fred Eaglesmith

Spookin' The Horses

You're spookin' the horses

They're wild and they're scared

That bright coloured makeup

Those clothes that you wear

And I've seen you dancin' last night 'neath the tree

You're spookin' the horses

And you're scarin' me

Where the road meets the highway

Those bright city lights

Must have shone through your windshield

And got into your eyes

And I guess you thought

That they'd set you free

You're spookin' the horses

And you're scarin' me

You're not tying your hair back anymore

And you're wearing dresses

Like you never before

And you're driving faster

Than I've ever seen

You're spookin' the horses

And you're scarin' me

I can hear the gears grinding

When you make the turn

And up on the skyline

Those headlights just burn

And the horses go runnin'

And my heart just screams

You're spookin' the horses

And you're scarin' me

You're spookin' the horses

And you're scarin' me
