Dead Horse Lyrics

You could quit your job, I could sing a little less
I could make a little room in the top of my dresser
Don't waste a second on a second guess
Don't you wanna die on this hill together?

There's no chance, but maybe
I'm living on the bright side, baby
It's romance, it's crazy
But I don't give a damn, so

We could take it slow, we could take it real fast
We could put it in park, we could watch the car crash
It's stupid, but I'll stay, even if the whole place burns down, oh
We could water this thing, we could let it die off
We can keep driving blind if the sign says stop
Like a half-smoked cigarette, baby, let's drag this out
Don't you wanna beat this dead horse into the ground?

They're gonna have to pry my hands off you
Don't care if it's a fight I end up losing
I'm already gone, baby, that's the truth
The only way out is through, so

We could take it slow, we could take it real fast
We could put it in park, we could watch the car crash
It's stupid, but I'll stay, even if the whole place burns down, oh
We could water this thing, we could let it die off
We can keep driving blind if the sign says stop
Like a half-smoked cigarette, baby, let's drag this out
Don't you wanna beat this dead horse into the ground?
Yeah, don't you wanna beat this dead horse into the ground?

It's hopeless, I know it, but anyway, here's to hoping
The odds are real low, but I don't give a damn, so

We could take it slow, we could take it real fast
We could put it in park, we could watch the car crash
It's stupid, but I'll stay, even if the whole place burns down, oh
We could water this thing, we could let it die off
We can keep driving blind if the sign says stop
Like a half-smoked cigarette, baby, let's drag this out
Don't you wanna beat this dead horse into the ground?

Yeah, don't you wanna beat this dead horse into the ground?
