Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - High Horse Lyrics






Get up on your high horse, woman
Get up on your high horse now
And get up on your high horse, woman
I'll make it up to you somehow

Moonlit shadow, she starts a trippin' firelight
Jumpin' the trees lyin' across the right of way
Silvery mornin' it glistens down the valley
But she don't stop 'til we ride the night away

Get up on your high horse, woman
Get up on your high horse now
Get up on your high horse, woman
I'll make it up to you somehow

Blonde braids tangle at the misty break of mornin'
Catchin' light through a dusty window pane
Lost in lust, in denial of the warnin'
She digs her heels in this stallion's flank again

Get up on your high horse, woman
Get up on your high horse now
Get up on your high horse, woman
I'll make it up to you somehow

Get up on your high horse, woman
You paid the price, you get to play
Get up on your high horse, woman
You're gonna ride to the break of day

To the break of day
To the break of day
To the break of day

Get up on your high horse, woman
Get up on your high horse now
Get up on your high horse, woman
I'll make it up to you somehow

Get up on your high horse, woman
You paid the price, you get to play
Get up on your high horse, woman
You're gonna ride to the break of day

    +Eric Underwood check the lyrics out.. Blonde braids tangle at the misty break of mornin'
    Catchin' light through a dusty window pane
    Lost in lust, in denial of the warnin'
    She digs her heels in this stallion's flank again

    Wow, haven't heard this in ages.Growing up, I always thought it was Ricky Skaggs that did this (probably because it has a much more Bluegrass sound than most of NGDB's stuff)

    J.... B....

    Exactly!  I haven't heard this song since probably the late '80's.  For some reason,  the song popped into my head,  and I decided to find it on YouTube.  I searched for it under Ricky Skaggs and was surprised that it was Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

    HEy! M.K
    What took ya so long gettin this uploaded?
    I thank You.

    Too bad Jim Ibbotson quit the band, 'cause he was tired of tourin'.

    D.... W....

    Yeah, that is a shame. What frustrates me is how some people think Mr. Bojangles was the only thing they ever did, but Ibby was the catalyst for them recording the song back in 1970.
