Tom Petty - Ankle Deep - Highway Companion #11

Intro    (x4)

                                   
Well, they raised that horse to be a jumper 
                                  
He was owned by a mid-west bible thumper 
                            
His preacher was a Louisiana drummer 
                                  
Took all winter to get through the summer 

                                   
The fieldhand hit the switch and stumbled 
                                 
Outside the big engine roared and rumbled 
                            
The stolen horse spooked and tumbled 
                                       
She didn't speak for a week, Just kinda mumbled

He was caught up in a lie he half believed
                                   
Found her hiding high in the family tree
                                      
Washed his hands and put her cross his knee
                                       
She said daddy "you been a mother to me"
