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
