The Old Homestead Neil Young

[Verse 1]
Up and down the old homestead
The naked rider gallops through his head
And although the moon isn't full
He still feels the pull

[Verse 2]
Out on the floor where the cowboys dance
Approaching slowly at a glance
Here comes the shadow of his stance
The reins are falling from his hands

[Verse 3]
"Why do you ride that crazy horse?"
Inquires the shadow with little remorse
Just then a priest comes down the stairs
With a sack of dreams and old nightmares

[Verse 4]
"Who are you," the rider says
"You dress in black but you talk like a fed
You spout ideas from books that you've read
Don't you care about this guy's head?"

[Verse 5]
Just then the sound of hoofbeats was heard
And the sky was darkened by a prehistoric bird
Who flew between the unfulfilled moon
And the naked rider to a telephone booth
