Rocking Horse > Songtext
von Gov’t Mule

My guardian angel wears a hard hat
Said the boy with the microphone
Else, I wouldn′t be standing here today
Ever since I was a young a boy
I couldn't leave well enough alone
Been trouble standin′ in my way

Up, down, anywhere but in the middle
Off the wagon, under the wheel again
All or nothin', never could do just a little
Never could leave it alone... oh

Oh, hard livin' be the death of me
Yes, gonna lead me to an early grave
To die in the saddle must be my destiny


But to ride this rocking horse I must be crazed
Good clean fun, just my imagination
Down and dirty that′sa way the game is played
It′s a hard life, and it's caused me some aggravation
Never could leave it alone

Oh, na nana, no
I can′t leave it alone

Have mercy, got to ride that rocking horse

Talkin', talkin′ about my guardian angel
She wears a hard hat
Else I woudn't be standin′ here today
Ever since, ever since I was a little bity young boy
Been trouble, standin' in my way
Up, down, anywhere but in the middle
Off the wagon, under the wheel again
All or nothin', never could do just a little
Never could leave it alone
Oh, na nana, no
Can′t leave it alone
Have mercy, got to ride that rocking horse
