Remembering how when I was a boy that for several Christmas's in a row I would write a note for old Santa to please leave a horse tied up outside. How simple life was then and how the woes of society became more apparent as I grew up.

lyrics

When I was a boy
I wanted a horse
We'd ride out west and way up north
Palomino, painted or chestnut mare
I wanted a horse
To ride everywhere
When I was a boy
My heroes wore white
They'd chase down the bad guys
All day and night
With names like Rogers and Cassidy
They were the good guys
It was plain to see
(Yeah that's right)
When I was a young man
I opened my eyes
Martin, Bobby and John
Made me ask why
Were people done wrong
Because of their skin
When I was a young man
I opened my eyes
(No more hatred) A word to the young
(No more fear) Take heed today
(Wake the truth) Our country is headed
(And dry your tears) A dangerous way
Led by people
With hate in their hearts
If they have their way
They'll rip us apart
When I was a boy
I wanted a horse
We'd ride out west and way up north
Palomino, painted or chestnut mare
I wanted a horse
To ride everywhere
