I was standing in 1997 Feeling like I just rolled in on the tide Keep looking for that small pathway to heaven There's a dark horse coming I'm not ready to ride I keep breezing along in my small world Thinking everything gonna be alright But my friends keep falling by the wayside There's a dark horse running I'm not ready to ride Oh I went up on the mountain Heard the panther scream I know it's a sign But I don't know what it means And my loved ones keep saying It's just a real bad dream It's for sure that time ain't moving any slower And I keep looking back on my life There's some things I wish that I could do over But there's a dark horse standing I'm not ready to ride There's a dark horse standing I'm not ready to ride
