I told him i was a poet, i was lookin' for the truth i do not care for horses, whiskey, women or the loot i said i was a writer, my soul was all on fire he looked at me an' he said, "you are a liar." "it's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money" Well, i was disillusioned, if i say the least i grabbed him by the collar and i jerked him to his feet there was something cold and shiny layin' by my head so i started to believe the things he said Well, my poet days are over and i'm back to being me as i enjoy the peace and comfort of reality if my boy ever asks me what it is that i have learned i think that i will readily affirm "it's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, and more money" (repeat 2x) Related Lyrics Random lyrics: One Of The Mysteries Of Life, Souvenirs, Le Pnitencier, Bag It Up, Calling, Circles Round The Moon, Dont Call Me Baby, Feels Like Sex, G.A.Y.
