"Back To The Rocking Horse"
Like this
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Ain't got a hope in hell
Of putting my pieces back together again
I've seen things in my life that should never be seen
I'm talking things that'd make your skin crawl
I want to go back to a simpler time
Where nothin' really mattered at all
You see, I can't sleep all night long
Tossin' and a-turnin'
thoughts they keep a-churnin'
I can't sleep all night long
As a matter of fact
I just want to get back
[Chorus]
Back to the rockin' horse
Back to where it all began
Take me back-back to the rockin' horse
And start all over again
My parents think I'm crazy
And the doctor says I cracked
But they don't understand me
Cause I just wanna go back
You see I can't sleep all night long
Tossin' and a-turnin
Thoughts they keep a-churnin'
I can't sleep all night long
As a matter of fact
I just want to get back
[Chorus]
