They braid my tail put feathers in my hat,
A jeweled saddle sits upon my back
I prance around the ring and you know,
That I’ll do anything, for the show
Oh the fame, oh the luxury, all the applause,
Isn’t what its cracked up to be
You see the metal on my tongue drives me insane
But the show must go on, so I hide the pain
They crack the whip to keep my ass in line
But the ringing in my ears, says freedom must be mine, all mine
All the plans, all the schemes, all of the dreams
Get that saddle off my back, I ain’t never coming back
I said get that saddle off my back I ain’t never coming back, NO!
Somewhere on the plain, something’s calling my name
Somewhere on the plain, someone’s calling my name
I bolted off that boxcar now I’m free
My head up to the stars and I whinny
I run for miles through the barren land
A bucking bronco I will make my stand
Oh what a night, oh it’s not a dream, oh what a scream
Get that saddle off my back, I ain’t never coming back
I said get that saddle off my back I ain’t never coming back,
I said get that saddle off my back, I ain’t never coming back
I said get that saddle off my back
Cause I, ain’t, ever, coming, back.
