Amanda Marshall › Lyrics › Dark Horse

Indian summer, Abilene
You were new in town I was nineteen, and sparks flew
They called us crazy behind our backs
"Romantic fools", we just let them laugh, because we knew

May be a long shot
We may be lonely down the line
But love knows no reason
And I won't let them make up my mind

My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run, yeah

Stars are brighter in a desert sky
No need to wonder or justify where this will lead
I wear your locket, our picture's inside
Inscription says, "The joy's in the ride", and I believe

Something so sacred
Is something worth this kind of fight
'Cause love knows no patience, no yeah
You can't please everyone all the time

My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run

So rare, so sweet
Together baby I know, we can be free, be free

My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let it run baby

My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this, let this dark horse run

Indian Summer, Abilene
You were new in town, I was nineteen
Oh babe in the summer time, yeah, yeah
