On Horseback

I like beer, and I like cheese I like the smell of a westerly breeze But what I like more than all of these To be on horsebackHey and away we go Through the grass, across the snow Big brown beastie, big brown face I'd rather be with you than flying through spaceI like thunder, and I like rain And open fires, and roaring flames But if the thunder's in my brain I'd like to be on horsebackSome like the city, some the noise Some make cars, and others, toys But if I was to have the choice I'd rather be on horsebackHey and away we go Through the grass, across the snow Big brown beastie, big brown face I'd rather be with you than flying through spaceSome find it strange to be here, On this small planet, and who knows where But when it's strange and full of fear It's nice to be on horsebackSome are short, and others tall Some hit their heads against the wall But it doesn't really matter at all When you happen to be on horsebackHey and away we go Through the grass, across the snow Big brown beastie, big brown face I'd rather be with you than flying through spaceSo if you you feel a little glum To Hergest Ridge you should come In summer, winter, rain or sun It's good to be on horsebackHey and away we go Through the grass, across the snow Big brown beastie, big brown face I'd rather be with you than flying through spaceHey and away we go Through the grass, across the snow Big brown beastie, big brown face I'd rather be with you than flying through space
