Lyrics

Dark Horse

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Yeah, this one goes out to the dreamer always out there aiming high

Don't you let 'em clip your wings or say that you can't fly

This one goes out to the loser losing time and time again

And time again keeps on believing that someday they're gonna win

When nobody knows your name, nobody knows your face

Everybody counts you out long before you start that race

You can let 'em place their bets, let 'em laugh and drink their wine

Let 'em eat their words when you're first to the finish line

Today's your day in the sun, you're rolling like a young gun

Now it's your time to ride, let your dark horse run

They can't measure your heart, they can't tear you apart

You're finally catching your stride, let your dark horse run

Through the fire and barbed wire

You're a runaway train, there's no turning back

This one goes out to the girls, go show the world you can

Never let 'em hold you back just because you aren't a man

This one goes out to those underdogs who aren't afraid to bite

Change the game, break the chain, get off that porch and fight

Today's your day in the sun, you're rolling like a young gun

Now it's your time to ride, let your dark horse run

They can't measure your heart, they can't tear you apart

You're finally catching your stride, let your dark horse run

Through the fire and barbed wire

You're a runaway train, there's no turning back

Let your dark horse run

Let your dark horse run

Let your dark horse run

Let your dark horse run

I rode into town with a dream and a song

But they told me that I just don't belong

And the fable of a label that stomped on my heart

Added fuel to the fire, added soul to my art

So I went back home like all those outlaw boys

Bought a van, got a band, making my brand of noise

So, I built with my hands my own destiny

And I became what they said that I couldn't be

I got a chip on my shoulder, but it doesn't weigh me down

I got a chip on my shoulder, but it doesn't weigh me down

I got a chip on my shoulder, but it doesn't weigh me down

It whispers "Get back up" when I get knocked on the ground

Today's your day in the sun, you're rolling like a young gun

Now it's your time to ride, let your dark horse run

They can't measure your heart, they can't tear you apart

You're finally catching your stride, let your dark horse run

Through the fire and barbed wire

You're a runaway train, there's no turning back

Let your dark horse run

Through the fire and barbed wire

You're a runaway train there's no turning back

Let your dark horse run

Let your dark horse run

Let your dark horse run
