Horse Thief Lyrics

OK it ain't appealing but it's gonna make me feel
Alright it's double dealing and it's probably gonna take all night
I oughta sleep it off and never leave the house tonight
OK, alright
But the pleasure seeking side of an old horse thief just might
Yeah, the pistol packing pride of an old horse thief just might
Look around, you're crazy
They'll hunt you down, you're crazy
Don't turn around, you're crazy
They'll shoot you down, you're crazy
OK the man's a friend of mine but he ain't even home
Tonight I ain't a taking much I'm really gonna travel
Light'll find me sleeping off the sort of thing I did last night
I know I'm getting slower but I used to kinda do it right
Still in the picture and I'm really gonna do it right
I'd like to slip it off but noose is getting tight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
