Horse
Mighty Oaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You left your family, your loved ones behind
And they say that love is the water that keeps you strong
Well, I know that I've been thirsting for you for too long
You crossed the border in '59
You left your family, your loved ones behind
And they say that love is the water that keeps you strong
You picked it up and traveled down
You've seen the sun rise over this town
You gave me a smile and you told the truth
Well, I know now what I can expect from you
A lonely ride through a quiet town
A solemn soul whose tales are old and they show their shrouds
Well, I know now what I can expect from you
With leathered skin, pales eyes of blue
A smile that shines high above two worn out boots
I, well, I know now what I can expect from you
I know now, what I can expect from you
I know now, what I can expect from you
I know now, what I can expect from you
I know now, what I can expect from you
You told me, you'd hold me and I watched you go your way
You picked it up, you traveled down
You've seen the sun rise over this town
The song "Horse" by Mighty Oaks tells the story of a man who left his family and loved ones behind in search of a better life. The lyrics suggest that this man crossed the border in 1959, likely indicating that he left his home country behind. Throughout the song, the singer expresses his admiration and longing for this man, ultimately coming to the realization that he knows what to expect from him.
The repeating lyric "they say that love is the water that keeps you strong" suggests that the man's love for his family is the source of his strength and motivation for leaving in the first place. However, the singer's description of the man's "leathered skin, pale eyes of blue" and "worn out boots" paints a picture of a hard life filled with struggles and obstacles.
Overall, "Horse" tells a touching story of sacrifice and the strength that love can provide during difficult times. It suggests that even when we are physically apart from our loved ones, the bonds of love can keep us connected and give us the courage to keep going.

You picked it up, and traveld down
You've seen the sun rise over this town
You gave me a smile and you told the truth
Well I know not what I can expect from you
A lonley ride through a qiuet town
A solemn soul whose tales are old and they show their shrouds
I, well, I know not what I can expect from you
With leathered skin, pales eyes of blue
A smile that shines high above two worn out boots
I, well; I know not what i can expect from you
Well I know not, what I can expect from you
You told me you'd hold me and I watched you go your way
You picked it up, you traveld down
You seen the sun over this town
