Last Horse

She's standin' on the front porch, outside the screen door

Look at how her back is turned

It's amazing how much a woman can say

Without so much as saying a word

There by the window, there's a honeymoon picture of us

Dancin' at the Angel Falls

But that ain't the way it is

That ain't the way it is at all

I don't wanna be the last flame, burnin' in a wildfire

Right before the rain comes down

I don't wanna be the last star

Shinin' when the moon goes out

And I don't wanna get stuck here

Waitin' on a train that's never comin' back around

I don't wanna be the last horse

Left in this one-horse town

I used to call her baby, we loved like crazy

Felt just like we had it all

Now it's hard to say who's driftin' away

But the better part of us is lost

Now when she cools off and comes back inside

I'll still try and make her smile

'Cause I don't wanna give up

No, I don't wanna give up

But I don't wanna be the last flame

Burnin' in a wildfire, right before the rain comes down

I don't wanna be the last star

Shinin' when the moon goes out

And I don't wanna get stuck here

Waitin' on a train that's never comin' back around

I don't wanna be the last horse

Left in this one-horse town

Never planned on endin' up here

But holdin' on and trying to keep her

Is like watchin' roses disappear

And I don't wanna get stuck here

Waitin' on a train that's never coming back around

I don't wanna be the last horse

Left in this one-horse town

I don't wanna be the last horse

Left in this one-horse town

She's standing on the front porch, outside the screen door

Look at how her back is turned
