Horses with Iron Feet

from The New West by Bill White

/

lyrics

from the new jersey turnpike
to the arizona sands
they went looking for america
and found a foreign land
you can leave the chain gang
if you bribe the right police
the swamps are no place for hiding
unless you are riding on horses with iron feet

i havent been back to georgia
in many a long long day
and wonder if things are really
as bad as they all say
if merchants own the sidewalks
and taxis hog the street
if armies of the dead ride west
on horses with iron feet.

and if you dare to cross
the california line
you will see ex presidents
diddling each others wives
the bones of Thomas jefferson
are rising from the mud
to watch the future presidents
drink each others blood

on the interstate last night
the devil crashed his bike
while we filled the gas tank
with Carolina moonshine
the night runs thick with zombies
and the doctor draws the shades
but horses with iron feet
are knocking down the gates
