Stolen Horses
[Chorus]
I'll be riding stolen horses
When you don’t see me no more
I'll be riding stolen horses
On some distant shore

[Verse 1]
Now reincarnation
As I understand it
Is birth, death, and re-birth
Unless we get enlightenment
Full-tilt enlightenment
We come back down here on earth

Now I suppose
When we leave here
That we go to some celestial realm
And in one of these heavens
There might be horses
And if there is I'm gonna steal me a few of them

[Chorus]
Oh I’ll be riding stolen horses
When you don't see me no more
Oh I'll be riding stolen horses
On some distant shore
[Verse 2]
Now there's little demons
On the Hindu temples
Above the door and all around
What that says is
We get past what scares us
And we can stand on sacred ground

So don't be crying
When I'm done breathing
The way I'm living, I'll be back again
So close your eyes
And see me riding
Some stolen horses in the wind

[Chorus]
So I’ll be riding stolen horses
When you don’t see me no more
Oh I'll be riding stolen horses
On some distant shore
I’ll be riding stolen horses
When you don't see me no more
