about

A horse thief fleeing from a posse sees their lover killed. The song drives forward at the frantic pace of a galloping horse on the run. Electric guitars wail, and a male chorus laments death, and lap steel guitar recalls the open desert plains where the story takes place.

lyrics

Out stealing horses with my baby tonight
Cutting through fencelines moving silent in the moonlight
Somebody tried to stop us but my baby cut him down
And I lead those stolen horses over blood upon the ground

Out stealing horses with my baby tonight
There’s a posse on our trail riding hard up behind
We’re making for the hills but on the horizon there’s a light
If we can get there before sunup we’ll be alright

Out stealing horses with my baby tonight
He is bleeding in his saddle slumped over to the right
The crack of rifle shot comes down on us from high
And my baby screams he loves me and I know he’ll never die

So listen to me people be careful who you love
Some men are built to last some to burn bright and just the once
Lovers left behind live every moment in pain
Yeah my baby was a horse thief and I miss him everyday
