Lyrics:

That ground gets harder every year
I find as I shake some from my ear
Well I'm trying for the prize
But sometimes I wonder why
As I watch that horse do two jumps without me

Horses sure can thrill you
When they're not tryin' to kill you
You're gonna ride those horses
Or you won't
Horses sure can thrill you
When they're not trying to kill you
Either you like horses or you don't

I had a few bones broken in my time
But I had my share of glory
Down the line
I guess finding a horse that's raw
And bringing that devil along
That's the only thing
That brings me peace of mind

Horses sure can thrill you
When they're not tryin' to kill you
You're gonna ride those horses
Or you won't
Horses sure can thrill you
When they're not trying to kill you
Either you like horses or you don't

Dig a hole and throw your money in
Sell your house and borrow
From your friends
Well there ain't much money in horses
But I'm sure gonna feel my best
Hanging that gold medal 'round my chest

Horses sure can thrill you
When they're not tryin' to kill you
You're gonna ride those horses
Or you won't
Horses sure can thrill you
When they're not trying to kill you
Either you like horses or you don't
