Stone Blind Horses Lyrics

Ray Wylie Hubbard Stone Blind Horses

[Verse]
There are some saints that have been forgotten
Like most of my drunken prayers
They say there's a heaven somewhere above the yonder
Where there's no more crosses to bear

[Verse]
And there's ghosts all along the highways
And there's storms out on the sea
My only hope is somewhere in that heaven
Someone says a prayer for me

[Chorus]
I've been ridin' stone blind horses
Never seen a reason to believe
Hey sweet Genevieve, say a prayer for me
The wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours, and thieves

[Verse]
The high slurred whistle of a redwing blackbird
Sounds like a singin', Oh that I might die
It's a song for those who have fallen
Unrepentant and with no more alibis

[Chorus]
I've been ridin' stone blind horses
Never seen a reason to believe
Hey sweet Genevieve, say a prayer for me
And the wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours, and thieves
Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me
And the wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours and thieves
