Kane, Christian - Different Kind Of Knight Lyrics






Can I cut in on a dance?
You ain't gonna find what you're lookin' for
In that little Mexican.
You can't mix your tears
With those from an agave plant,
You see I've danced with him myself
And he's never been a friend.
You go believin' in your Lancelot
Well it's all in vain
And you're chasin' picket fences,
There's always hell to pay.
I met many a girl in here
With the same story line-
All them boys on those white horses
Don't know how to ride.

But I got a paint outside with enough giddyup
To be free.
I got a faint smell of cheap perfume
And a hint of gasoline.
See I'm a different kind of knight,
You're gonna find your fairy tales are lies.
I don't have a white horse
But you can come along for the ride.

She said, "I'm tired of living life in a romance book
I think chivalry's dead
And I ain't gonna look
For them roundtable boys on the white horse
That can't get the story right."
I said, "as luck would have it
I was tossed by the throne
I let my Marion down
Some years ago
And I traded my coat of arms
For a guitar and some broken yellow lines."

But I got a paint outside with enough giddyup
To be free.
I got a faint smell of cheap perfume
And a hint of gasoline.
See I'm a different kind of knight,
You're gonna find your fairy tales are lies.
I don't have a white horse
But you can come along for the ride.

She kinda shifted in her seat a little bit
The thought of every eye on her bee-stung lips
And she raised that glass and the lime
And she kissed him goodbye.
She said, "promise me you'll take it slow
And swear no talk of tomorrow
And when you feel me tighten around you
Well you can let the hammer down."

And I got a paint outside with enough giddyup
To be free.
I got a faint smell of cheap perfume
And a hint of gasoline.
See I'm a different kind of knight,
You're gonna find your fairy tales are all lies.
I don't have a white horse
But you can come along for the ride.

  10. R.... W....

    I love this version!😍💖🌟💋

  11. A.... M....

    last foment was from my friend Alicia McEwen

  12. A.... M....

    love him sooooooooooo much so good at singing

  16. t.... w....

    tina walker n

  17. C.... ....

    So beautiful performed and written by #ChristianKane  love this studio version!

  18. D.... B....

    this man on a horse evokes a very specific image-long hair in the wind, galloping across a field reminds me of a movie....

  19. G.... S....

    Probably my favorite of all his songs. 

  20. M.... K....

    Another brilliantly written song. The comparison of the White (pure bred) horse and the Paint (American mix bred) horse. I prefer the later.  Nice play of words!

    M.... K....

    There is no "White" breed of horse and being white certainly doesn't indicate a horse is purebred. A Paint, on the other hand, actually is a recognized breed.

    M.... K....

    @Charity Santiago
     The Lipizzaner are all pure white and the mounts of Austrian Royalty :P

    M.... K....

    @Charity Santiago
    1.) Owned. 2.) It's not literal. It's something called *gasp!* A METAPHOR!
    Thanks, and have a nice day.

    M.... K....

    @Mike Carvell  White Horse isn't a reference to pure breeds, so much as the fairy tale mounts of Knights. Meant to represent purity of purpose and deed, other negative connotations for a White Knight & mount is all style and no substance. Paint's has strong First People and Cowboy associations, and as a mount it doesn't have any of the connotations of purity, pretty much the opposite. It's a mixed breed work horse.

    Given what Christian's said about his reasons for writing this song, I'd say he's tired of women looking to him to save them, in whatever fashion. He's not the settling down type and he's definitely no White Knight, to sweep a girl off her feet and "save" her with marriage and settling down.
    What he will offer is to journey together for a while, have some fun, and then go their separate ways.

    M.... K....

    +Margie K gray horse not white and it can be gray and not a pure bred. and a paint is a pure bred. even through by rights its a coat pattern and should not be called a bred..same with the palomino. but whatever i get what you mean and what he is saying in this song. great song

  21. t.... w....

    Another great song!!! <3 <3

  22. Y.... D....

    Excellent skng!

  23. Y.... D....

    Thank you! Great song!

  24. Y.... D....

    Thank you! Great song!

  25. j.... k....

    His voice is amaizing ^^

  26. D.... D....

    its a metaphor and if you listen to the words fully, you can understand actually but then again, you also gotta be a shit kicker country man or woman to understand a lot too as well and hes talking about his bike, and that is does what a horse would do for the most part, and you can either come, take a ride or pass it up. hence, i don't have a white horse. talking about being a knight. lol you know, the whole knight in shining armor

  27. N.... R....

    You must fun at parties

  28. C.... F....

    also... please tell me where you would put Gasoline... in a horse? "I got a feint smell of cheap perfume and a hint of gasoline..."

    C.... F....

    Christion Frye Right up the ass!

  29. C.... F....

    To those who disagree with me.. Please explain what hammer you let down on a horse? He is definitely talking about a motorcycle.. derrr... " and when you feel me tighten around you , you can let the hammer down" When she squeezes he can change gear.. sheesh.. buy a brain... Id really hate to think of someone beating a horse with a hammer....

    C.... F....

    Christion Frye I'd say it was pretty much a sexual reference.

    C.... F....

    Christion Frye "Let the hammer down" is also a common phrase, meaning, "Go fast." It's a metaphor.

  30. L.... M....

    Love this song and Christian Kane's voice is like velvet to my ears. Fantastic, can't wait to see him live next time he's across here in Europe.

  31. J.... M....

    He says Paint not Payne.... if you listen to his live video you can hear it better. seach thte song and it should be the first video.

    J.... M....

    It's payne its a manufacturer of motorcycle

  32. B.... ....

    payne motorcycles are made.. they are now given a new name yamaha suzuki.. all made in AL and the fort payne motorcycle shop

  33. F.... ....

    No one I've talked to has ever heard of a Payne motorcycle. And it's not on Google either. I think the lyrics websites are correct. Makes more sense to say he has a Paint (horse).

  34. F.... ....

    I've never heard of a Payne motorcycle. I just always figured he said Paint since he said he didn't have a WHITE horse.. either way it's a great song!! :)

  35. C.... F....

    Contrary to every lyrics site I have searched online the chorus does not say "I've got a paint outside with enough giddyup to be free" That would make no sense.. What the lyrics say is " I've got a PAYNE ( as in Payne Motorcycle) outside with enough giddy up to be free"

    C.... F....

    Christion Frye it does y'know. A paint is a piebald or skewbald horse. White with brown or black patches. The song is full of metaphors.

    C.... F....

    Considering that the lyrics on HIS website say "paint", I'd say he would know for sure.

    C.... F....

    FimmelFanatic lol... Yes that is good enough for me...

  36. F.... ....

    If you're referring to the lyric "you ain't gonna find what you're lookin' for in that little Mexican" - he's talking about the tequila the lady is drinking, not a person.

  37. P.... ....

    How is he racist? In my experience, he's been nothing but polite and a gentleman...

  38. A.... B....

    What an amazing voice love the song and like the fact he is a small town boy inside

  39. T.... ....

    to be fair, he is slightly racist , hence giving men out their a bit of a chance

  40. S.... H....

    LOVE THIS SONG!!!! :)

  41. C.... F....

    two people still have white horses they don't know how to ride....

  42. N.... C....

    .... first video i've seen where the top comments is ..... how to put it.... praising in that way..

  43. O.... ....

    Just seen him perform this live last night...was amazing!

  44. J.... K....

    this song just reminds me SO much of me and this guy that i liked! he wasn't exactly the type you'd bring home to your parents but i just never felt like that about anyone before! in the end it didn't work out! :(

  45. T.... ....

    I sang this recently with the guitar and a bunch of girls asked me to write down the name of the song and the singer for them. Hope they will enjoy and become fans ! Christian for the win ;)

  46. M.... ....

    @hawaiidiver68 Point one: It's Maid Marian, not Miriam. Point two: He's saying 'Maryanne' if you look up the lyrics, I think it may just be a generic name insert.

  47. A.... R....

    @laura85elizabeth when you put it that way.. i really hate Kane x) ok ok i lie.. i dont :p he is a great actor, great singer and allround badass

  48. t.... b....

    @iloveleverage I mean realy every song I listened to that night I cryed to EVERYONE even the house rules

  49. l.... ....

    Hahaha I can't believe my comment from a year ago is the top comment still...lol :) Still in love with this song and Christian Kane! <3

  50. L.... T....

    i do have something to say about the use of his allegory between lancelot and miriam, two totally different eras and cast of characters. lancelot would be associated with gwenivere and king arthur, while maid meriam was king richard and robinhood.

    L.... T....

    Lisa Todd Marian I think, as in Maid Marian from the legend of Robin Hood.

  51. L.... T....

    but darling, i am looking for somebody that wants to fly with me who can push me higher and hgher and still soar with me. who wants to settle down?

  52. j.... ....

    This is my favorite CK song!!! I am so glad he put this on the CD (well as an extra thru Itunes). This song just gives me chills! I honestly don't think he's written a more beautiful song. I can't believe we are t-minus 3 hours 37 minutes until his CD is finally unleashed. Things are never going to be the same for him again.

  53. J.... ....

    Love this song. : )

  54. D.... D....

    @babybluerhino Paint is a particular colouring pattern on a horse.

  55. b.... ....

    Sorry is this was asked before....... what does he mean when he refers to ..... I got a "PAINT" outside.........

    This is an amazing song!!!!!!! And KANE is amazing too!

  56. t.... b....

    i dont know why but as soon as i herd this song within the first 20 seconds i started crying i dont know but his osngs just get to me

  57. t.... b....

    @laura85elizabeth got that right

  58. J.... L....

    This song may not be as exciting for you guys to perform live, but a year ago it was the song that hooked me as a Kane fan. Well written original lyrics backed by very talented musicians all the way around! All the songs are great! I told you all then that "hitting big" was in the near future. You're definitely on your way! Stay humble! See you in Covington, KY. Please include this song in your set for me! ~Jenn, the Spanish Teacher from KY :)

  59. T.... ....

    always a great song...no matter what my mood.

  60. S.... ....

    I'm at a point in my life where idealism and romance are all but dead and this song really struck a chord. Thanks for posting this, it gave me an opportunity to hear this song!

  61. B.... G....

    When you sing 'let the hammer down,' I'm back on my bike with then wind in my hair. I love your music!!

  62. L.... S....

    I am in love...

  63. L.... K....

    I would come along for a ride anytime, honey! ;-)

  64. s.... ....

    This is one of my favorite songs he sings he is such a talented man.

  65. k.... ....

    OH MY GOD this song is ACE... DAMN I wish he was my different kinda knight.

  66. R.... ....

Cant wait for this album, it is going to blow people away!!!!! Thanks Chris, love and best wishes always from Oz, Raelynne xo :-)

  67. d.... ....

    holy hell... now, i'm not normally a country music person but this... yeah, this totally changes things. love his voice, so amazing and gravelly and just... guh. love it!!

  68. N.... ....

    my favorite is still "holy chest muscles Batman"...lol

  69. N.... ....

    I couldn't agree more...my husband is calling him my fantasy man...duh, anyone with an IQ over 5 can figure that one out...lmao...don't we all just want a multi talented drop dead gorgeous man with intense blue eyes to love us???

  70. t.... ....

    HELLLOOO NNUUURSE!!!

  71. l.... ....

    Oh My God - he seriously gives me goosebumps, is he the perfect man or what? sexy body, sexy face, sexy voice and he's deep...Christian Kane: raising women's expectations and making life difficult for men everywhere. lol

  72. g.... ....

    I've loved this song from the first moment I heard it. Broke me, absolutely BROKE me.

  73. C.... C....

    Love this song!
    Where can I get your CD?

  74. B.... ....

    Oh, my. Makes my toes curl.

  75. D.... ....

    I absolutely LOVE this song as well. The meaning, the emotion, the story behind it is absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad you've put it back up for us.

  76. T.... S....

    That's one of my favorite songs! I heard it 2007 live on a gig in UK and it was an amazing atmosphere.

    I hope I can listen to this song on a CD soon!

  77. S.... ....

    This is my favorite Christian Kane slow song. Let Me Go is a close second, but this one has such an unusual feel to it. I love it!!!

  78. y.... ....

    Great voice, the back-up singer was a nice touch, would be interesting to hear more harmony with it though

  79. T.... ....

    Another gorgeous, *gorgeous* song. It's kind of sad but not, and beautiful.
