Dwight Yoakam - Pretty Horses Lyrics






Pretty horses are what I have to ride
Lonely memories are where I go to hide
Empty pages are all I choose to write
About our love, our love
About our love, our love

Broken windows are what I look through
Softly searching for small signs of me and you
Gently thinking of what's left that we could do
About our love, our love
About our love, our love, about our love

About our love, our love
About our love, our love, about our love

Pretty horses are still hard to ride
With each other we will find a place to hide
All the pages are still there to write
About our love, our love
About our love, our love

    Just saw him in concert in Asheville NC. What a great concert. Love this song. Still going strong

    G.... R....

    Was at that same concert and loved it. Great performance!!

  8. K.... M....

    I just heard DY perform this song live in Asheville this evening. He performed it in a slower tempo and more subdued drumming. It is absolutely the most well written and beautiful song I’ve heard recently. I hope he records a version similar to the concert interpretation. Thank you DY for your appreciation and knowledge of the music I grew up with and for playing in Asheville!

  9. D.... L....

    Very beautiful song🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

  10. w.... ....

    I heard Dwight sing this in our three series of Concerts in WA State and it was a 1000 times more beautiful in Person. What an imagination. Love Him. WLH

  11. T.... R....

    I went to see Dwight Yoakam at The Palace Theater Greensburg 2 months ago I seen them last three years I've been a fan of Dwight Yoakam since I was young Dwight Yoakam kicks ass👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

  12. E.... S....

    Love the Bakersfield's beat

  13. J.... G....

    I think I speak for millions of people when I say Dwight Yoakam is damn near the best ever. Best part is, he still has a huge crowd on their feet every week. He has earned everything he has today, and I can't wait until he comes back to the SE.

  14. K.... G....

    went to his concert this past weekend in Appleton and he was amazing. loved hearing this song live. loved his performance in general

  15. C.... ....

    Im in love with this song and still in love that guy that broke my heart

  16. P.... T....

    I gotta admit you grew on me. Don't really know why as a teen I was more into Mark Chestnut, Tim McGraw and countless others. I'm glad I never walked too far away. Thanks Dwight for the music over the years

  17. S.... M....

    Empty pages are what I choose to write

  18. y.... ....

    My God! New?!! My very favorite artist. Sometimes I pass him over, and I always get mad at me for that when I pull out my "Dwight Live" album again, because he is the truest versiin of artist we have had in years n years. I just happened on this video, because I needed a Dwight fix. New?! I swore this was from his early years. I'm so excited...new Dwight music! No computer generated, autotune covered bullshit. Just a man and his guitar and his talent.
    Aaahhhhh: yeah, it's like that. It's Dwight.

    y.... ....

    On another note: I used to be a mountain man, a packer by employment. I always wanted a string of ugly horses to pack, and pretty mules to ride. I figured everyone would look at my uglies out on graze and know I was in country. ;) (totaly unrelated)

  19. A.... R....

Still the same sound from his earlier years and I just love it. I cant get enough of him. He is all I am listening to right now. My favorite and the best country singer and songwriter there is. Also an amazing actor as well. Love you Dwight!!!!

  71. R.... C....

    Love this song
    am very happy to hear your beautiful voice in new songs again here in Indiana. Listen to you all the time

  72. A.... L....

    BEST COUNTRY SINGER SONGWRITER. ..

  73. A.... L....

    TRUE LIVING LEGEND... I GO TO EVERY CONCERT WHEN HE'S IS CLOSE ENOUGH. I'M THINKING ABOUT GONE TO THE CINCINNATI. SHOW. LSD. TOUR.

  74. o.... ....

    Another deceptively great effort by Dwight. At first seems run of the mill .. maybe even generic. Simple lyrics about not being able to get it right, still trying. Then by about the third or fourth listen it clicks in .. the guitar work (is that Eugene Edwards on the track?), the flat-picking, and of course his vocals. Just gets stuck in your head. Every thing this guy does just swings. Also .. is it just me, or does the Apple iPhone "mail whoosh" sound appear at several points during this recording? (first example at 00:50).

  75. J.... P....

    Good stuff

  76. s.... s....

    Love This Song! Thank You Dwight For Posting This. Saying Hello From Shippensburg Pa
