Cat Power - Silver Stallion Lyrics

This version is horrible. The highwaymen sung this song. Their version 100 times more beautiful. Highwaymen do this song justice

The song is by Lee Clayton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtnOluEg90c And this is a good version.

Never heard this before. Very calming.

I'm gonna steal a silver stallion
With not a mark upon his silky hide
Teach him he can trust me like a sister
One day we'll saddle up and ride

And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...

I'm gonna find me a reckless man
Razor blades and ice in his eyes
Just a touch of sadness in his fingers
Thunder and lightning in his thighs

And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...

I'm gonna chase the sky forever
With the man, the stallion and the wind
The sun is gonna burn into a cinder
Before we ever pass this way again

And we're gonna ride
We're gonna ride
Ride like the one-eyed jack of diamonds
With the Devil close behind
We're gonna ride
We're gonna ride...

any body no what there talking about its god and his wife

Its definitely not about god
