[Verse 1]
Well, I bought me a horse with a broken leg
They said that she never could win
Only fit for a bullet, they said
She'll be coming out of a tin

[Verse 2]
So I took her home, I fed her on hay
I tied her up with a sling
Well, she just kept howling all of the night
And that's the reason I sing

[Chorus]
Well, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That's how she got her name
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again
Ah, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That's how she got her name
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again

[Verse 3]
I took her to the racetrack one fine day
They couldn't believe their eyes
They said if that nag even stays on her feet
We're gonna give you first prize
[Chorus]
Ah, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That's how she got her name
Oh, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again
Oh, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That's how she got her name
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again

[Verse 4]
She ran so fast that it took my breath
You never did see such a win
But when she crossed that finishing line
I was just too tired to grin

[Chorus]
Ah, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That's how she got her name
Oh, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again
Oh, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
That's how she got her name
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
I never will sleep again
