Buckskin Gelding (The Truer Tale)

Well he wanted a fight

Two bears can't climb

Branch and hide

On the same damn tree

It was the hunger alone

Or that slow bitter burn

That finally sent forth anxiety

I got nothing to lose

Got a hair on my chest

If today is the day

Let it be my best

We could cast aside

The things that make us friends

Between you and I

Let's settle this…

Cause I

I bet you a hundred

I bet you a mare

I bet you ain't a man

Bet you're just scared

Well what will be

With veins in his neck

I bet you that buckskin gelding

I bet you that buckskin gelding

Blow after blow

Eyes, fists, and nose

Lip to a tooth

Boy there was blood

Yeah between all the rage

And the dirt on their face

From the outside you can't determine

That giants had fought and

Wars have been lost

With less effort between enemies

When these worlds collide and old grudges die

Losing and winning is brief

Cause I

I bet you a hundred

I bet you a mare

I bet you ain't a man

Bet you're just scared

Well what will be

With veins in his neck

I bet you that buckskin gelding

I bet you that buckskin gelding

He said don't you lie

A man's only good as his word

I'll be comin by

To take back what's rightfully mine

Imma take back what's rightfully mine

Cause I

I bet you a hundred

I bet you a mare

I bet you ain't a man

Bet you're just scared

Well what will be

With veins in his neck

I bet you that buckskin gelding

Imma take back my buckskin gelding
