Saddle Up
The Boy Least Likely To Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's time to get back on the road
Saddle up, saddle up, get ready to go
I've got a silly idea
I wanna do something weird

I've got a donkey we can ride
I've got a suitcase full of sparkling wine
I wanna have some fun
before we go over the hill

I know there is a big scary
world out there just waiting for me
And it's time for us to saddle up

All I wanna do is settle down
settle down and find my tune
Somewhere nice and quiet
where I could show vegetables

I might not be a success
But if I make you happy I guess
That's more than I ever could have hoped for

I know there is a big scary
World out there just waiting for me
And it's time for us to saddle up

I know there is a big scary
World out there just waiting for me
And I didn't want to grow up




But I was just so afraid of
Being left behind by everyone
