Fifty Pounds Lyrics & Chords By Eddie From Ohio

History is chalkful of wisdom
on matters involved in the heart
there are unions meant to be broken
and some that should never start
You can fall for a woman who's taken
or a mistress who's feeling remorse
but you don't ever want to encounter
the gal who's in love with her horse
Don't fall for a girl who fell for a horse
just to be number two in her world
run from that stable
as fast as your able
don't hitch up her trailer
your pickup will fail her
don't do battle
when she's in the saddle
run from that stable now
from that horse back riding girl
Some men won the heart of a mermaid
but never of Catherine the Great
a royal with love for a stallion
a pair they could not seperate
Suffer through "National Velvet"
then you may just know why
a sobre Elizabeth Taylor
fell for a beast named Pie
Chorus
You don't get between a queen and a throne
you don't get between a dog and her bone
you don't get between the sole of a shoe and a stone
and there's one pair you leave alone
You can chew on the grass of Kentucky
it won't sprout you two or more legs
you won't get the speed of a philly
from strapping on their food bags
you can trot through Eastern Virginia
gallop Chincoteque on all fours
she ain't gonna call you wildfire
you might as well stay ashore
cuz, fella you ain't no horse
Chorus
