I Still Miss...
The idea behind this song is that it's supposed to read as if a man is talking about a woman who left him. In reality, though, he's talking about his horse he has a kid who ran away and he never found again. It's revealed in the chorus that he's speaking about a horse, and verse 2 really hones in on the idea that it's his horse who ran off.

I knew her since 12, we both were just kids
But bonded growing up on the farm
We'd go riding trails, runnin' a full sprint
And lay on our backs watching the stars
Her hair was like buckskin, chestnut and sand
I thought she loved me, but one day she just ran
She was always a little wild and crazy
But you know those ladies...
(Chorus)
You can lead 'em to water, but you can't make 'em drink
You can beg them to stay, but they'll still run away
If they want to
Then you play the fool
Chasin' around lingerin' memories
Of how damn happy that you used to be
It's a sad tune
Tears rain a monsoon
They ask me if I miss her, "Of course...
I still miss my horse"
She loved to be ridden, and seen by the folks
A show pony if ever there was
She was a solo lady, she'd buck from the yoke
I'd let her, 'cause that's what love does
Fast as a cheetah, she jumped like a deer
And I truly believed that she loved it here
I yelled once, but thought I was forgiven
Well, you know those women...
(Chorus)
