colby acuff - plastic horses lyrics
[verse 1]
well, he was sittin’ on the sidewalk
christmas eve all by himself
with a brown bag drink
oh and a pocketful of plastic horses
i sat down next to him
it was the luck of the draw
it was snowing like h_ll
talkin’ cats and dogs
that’s when i saw them plastic horses
[pre_chorus]
said “hey man”, what’s the deal on that
he said “i’ll tell you for a cigarette”
soon as that marlboro was lit
[chorus]
he said “i got a little girl in carolina
she gave these plastic horses to me
but her mama says that i can’t see her
until i’m off these d_mn amphetamines
and it’s been a long time since i’ve seen her smile
she thinks i’m long gone
but i’m still holdin’ on to plastic horses”
[verse 2]
said “i’ve been carrying these toys for twenty years
and i can still see her face through all the tears
but she couldn’t pick me out of a crowd
oh and i got some demons that i just can’t beat
that’s why i’m out here on this street
can’t be the man i need to be”
[chorus]
said “i got a little girl in carolina
she gave these plastic horses to me
but her mama says that i can’t see her
until i’m off these d_mn amphetamines
and it’s been a long time since i’ve seen her smile
she thinks i’m long gone
but i’m still holdin’ on to plastic horses”
[verse 3]
last thing that he said to me
was he was fixin’ to get clean
in time for his daughter’s birthday
one week later when i woke up
and i filled up my coffee cup
i opened the paper to the page
it read there was a man found in georgia
on the sidewalk new year’s eve
[outro]
he had a pocketful of plastic horses
and a picture of his daughter up his sleeve
and every now and then i think about him
and i know he’s long gone
but i’m still holdin’ on to plastic horses
