Verse 1

There's beauty in a horse that runs,
Beneath the wide and golden sun.
His mane and tail fly in the breeze,
As he races past the meadow trees.
His pounding hooves, his muscles strong,
Are nature's power, a living song.
And once you've seen that spirit soar,
You'll love a horse forevermore.

Chorus

Oh, there's something in the heart of a horse,
A faithful friend upon life's course.
Through wind and rain, through joy and pain,
He'll carry you home again.
No gold on earth could ever buy,
The trust that's shining in his eyes.
A bond that time cannot divorce,
That's why we love the heart of a horse.

Verse 2

We've crossed the rivers, climbed the hills,
And felt the winter's bitter chills.
He's found his footing on dangerous ground,
When safer trails could not be found.
When I was weary, hurt, and worn,
He carried me home before the morn.
And when my life was in his care,
I knew my faithful friend was there.

Chorus

Oh, there's something in the heart of a horse,
A faithful friend upon life's course.
Through wind and rain, through joy and pain,
He'll carry you home again.
No gold on earth could ever buy,
The trust that's shining in his eyes.
A bond that time cannot divorce,
That's why we love the heart of a horse.

Verse 3

There's freedom where the wild winds blow,
Beyond the fences far below.
With distant mountains touching blue,
We ride where only eagles flew.
He knows my voice, he knows my ways,
We've learned together through the days.
One gentle touch, one loosened rein,
And he knows just what I mean again.

Chorus

Oh, there's something in the heart of a horse,
A faithful friend upon life's course.
Through wind and rain, through joy and pain,
He'll carry you home again.
No gold on earth could ever buy,
The trust that's shining in his eyes.
A bond that time cannot divorce,
That's why we love the heart of a horse.

Verse 4

We've worked the cattle, sun till night,
And faced the storms with all our might.
He's never cared if I was poor,
Or if my name was known no more.
When days were hard and hope was thin,
He'd stand beside me through thick and thin.
I've talked and sung beneath the stars,
And told him dreams I've held so far.

Chorus

Oh, there's something in the heart of a horse,
A faithful friend upon life's course.
Through wind and rain, through joy and pain,
He'll carry you home again.
No gold on earth could ever buy,
The trust that's shining in his eyes.
A bond that time cannot divorce,
That's why we love the heart of a horse.

Verse 5

Like Trigger and old Silver too,
Some horses make the legends true.
Their courage, strength, and loyalty,
Live on in treasured memory.
I'll feed him first and let him rest,
And give that faithful friend my best.
For all the years we've shared the trail,
Our love and trust will never fail.

[Final Chorus — Sing with Greater Emotion]

Oh, there's something in the heart of a horse,
A faithful friend upon life's course.
Through wind and rain, through joy and pain,
He'll carry you home again.
No gold on earth could ever buy,
The trust that's shining in his eyes.
A bond that time cannot divorce,
That's why we love the heart of a horse.

Closing Lines — Softly Sung

And when my riding days are through,
I'll still remember skies of blue.
The finest friend I've ever known,
Had four strong legs to carry me home.
