[Verse]
Dust devils dance on the hard-pack track
Where Ol' Blue used to run.
Now he's swaybacked, ain't no turnin' back,
His racing days are done.
[Chorus]
Ol' Blue, Ol' Blue,
What's a good horse to do?
When his speed is gone,
And his work is through?
[Verse 2]
He earned his keep, pulled the plow so deep,
Brought the harvest home.
Now he just stands, with the reins in his hands,
Dreamin' he ain't alone.
[Chorus]
Ol' Blue, Ol' Blue,
What's a good horse to do?
When his speed is gone,
And his work is through?
[Bridge]
Some say a horse ain't got no soul,
Just muscle and bone.
But I see a light, burnin' bright,
In them eyes lookin' home.
[Chorus]
Ol' Blue, Ol' Blue,
What's a good horse to do?
When his speed is gone,
And his work is through?
