Now, we had made it there
Rain don’t run
And a flower froze in your hair
It was all a town could do
A fever broke like a levee
My heart in two
Darlin’, did I see you in the clouds
Or did you find a rest among a shroud
On Appaloosa blue
Tobiano, runnin’ through
On painted horses
Painted horses
On days away from you
Tuscaloosa ridin’ through
On painted horses
Painted horses
Well, me, I sold the house
Moved up north
Where the weather might kill a man
It was in my father’s blood
You learn one rail
And another lays down again
Darlin’, you still take my breath away
Now I fear I’m only miles away
From Appaloosa blue
Tobiano, running through
On painted horses
Painted horses
On nights away from you
My Tovero, made of moon
On painted horses
Painted horses
And on that night
Them rocks are gonna fall
Would you guide my way with just a call
On Appaloosa blue
When I’m ridin’ next to you
On painted horses
Painted horses
On nights away from you
My Sabino calls to you
From painted horses
Painted horses
And when you feel afraid
I’ll be runnin’ through the gate
On painted horses
Painted horses
And when I meet you there
Flyin’ wheels and golden mares
Are painted horses
Painted horses
Painted horses
Your painted horses
Watch ‘em as they run
Watch ‘em as they run
Underneath the sun
Watch ‘em as they run
