Let the Horses Run Songtext
von Tim O’Brien

All last week the rain came down, last night the weather broke
Now the sun shines down on new grass and steam comes up like smoke
There′s chores that I can finally do, I'll leave them all undone
It′s time to open up the gate and let the horses run

Let the horses run (let the horses run)
Let the horses run (let the horses run)
Time to open up the gates and let the horses run

I'll leave the harness hanging up above the plow
It's too wet for plantin′, so it can wait for now
Winter′s finally over, spring's not yet begun
Time to open up the gate and let the horses run

Let the horses run (let the horses run)
Let the horses run (let the horses run)
Time to open up the gate and let the horses run


Out on the southwest 40, there′s some fence I need to mend
But it's really true I′m overdue to catch up with my friends
I'll change my jeans and drive to town, try to find some fun
Time to open up the gate and let the horses run

Let the horses run (let the horses run)
Let the horses run (let the horses run)
Time to open up the gate and let the horses run

All last week the rain came down, last night the weather broke
Now the sun shines down on new grass and steam comes up like smoke
There′s lots chores that I can finally do, I'll leave them all undone
Time to open up the gate and let the horses run

Let the horses run (let the horses run)
Let the horses run (let the horses run)
Time to open up the gate and let the horses run

It's time to open up the gate and let the horses run
