When Horsepower Meant What It Said lyrics by Sandi Thom

Caught in a gridlock, nose to tail across all lanes
Smog nearly chocking me as the car horns go insane
'Cause they're patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs

How easily forgotten
How easily we're led

How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said

I've got a hundred horses hidden in between my wheels
But I can't put my foot down and jump the fences in the field
Because they're patiently waiting to get their old jobs backs
Carrying the human race proudly on their backs

And how easily forgotten
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said

So if we're keeping up with progress
Why am I standing still?
Maybe we should take a walk and talk
To the horses on the hill

And how easily forgotten
How easily we're led
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
How hard the path is trodden
From when horsepower meant what it said
