Jonathan Richman - Since She Started to Ride lyrics

She's got a brown suntan startin'
Just above her collar
Her lower arms they're brown
But the rest is kinda pale
She'd buy betadine if she only had a dollar
And she'd live out in the pasture
If she only had a tail

And no I don't see her much
Since she started with horses
No I don't see her much
Since she started to ride

Well her jeans they get like
A wet saddle blanket
And her boots are like you'd figure
And her car is full of hay
Horses, humans: if she had to rank it
You'd bet on they that canter
And them that need fly spray

And you see I don't see her
Much since she started with horses
No I don't see her much
Since she started to ride

Go boys, tell 'em all about it!

(guitar)

Canter and fender, barrel and mane
Don't see her much since she started to train
Cannon bone, knee bone, forearm and arm
I don't see her much when
She heads for the barn
And she's so satisfied when
She's riding and trainin'
She must just love that smell of
The barn i would say
She's so satisfied when she's
Groomin' and grainin'
And she's tired in the evening and
She's gone in the day

And no I don't see her much
Since she started with horses
No I don't see her much
Since she started to ride
