Dead Horse

(álbum: Use Your Illusion I - 1991)

Sick of this life
Not that you'd care
I'm not the only one with
whom these feelings I share

Nobody understands,
quite why we're here
We're searching for answers
That never appear

But maybe if I looked real hard I'd
I'd see your trying too
To understand this life,
That we're all going through
(Then when she said she was gonna like wreck my car...
I didn't know what to do)

Sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringing me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smiling
I guess some things never change
Never change

I met an old cowboy
I saw the look in his eyes
Something tells me he's been here before
'Cause experience makes you wise
I was only a small child
When the thought first came to me
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
That brought back the devil in me

Sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringing me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smiling
I guess some things never change
Never change

I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
Still wet behind the ears
I been around this track a couple o' times
But now the dust is starting to clear
Oh yeah!!!

Sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringing me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smiling
Ooh yeah, I'd be smiling
No way I'd be smiling
Ooh smiling
