Got me a race horse about 19 hands high
Lord he's a fast one, wish you could see him fly
But he hasn't, one me a race this year
Drilled me an oil well, drilled a dry hole
Drilled me another, where'd all my money go?
I'm still waiting for my well to come in
These things you been chasin leave you empty my friend
The only thing that we have is this time until it ends
So mend all your fences, sing a wild song
Cause it won't be long before we're all gone
Tried the acid, the pills, the cocaine
Sure love my whiskey, until the next day
But they ain't ever gave me what I need
Had me a good job making the big bucks
But I'm gettin real tired, thinking bout giving it up
Cause it hasn't fed my soul in years
These things you been chasin leave you empty my friend
The only thing that we have is this time until it ends
So mend all your fences, sing a wild song
Cause it won't be long before we're all gone
