As recorded by Charley Crockett
(From the 2024 Album VISIONS OF DALLAS)
 
 
[Intro]
F  G  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
C
Have you ever seen a red horse
F                  C
Flyin' through the sky
C
While ridin' round Dallas?
D7                  G
All lit up, big and bright
G7                C
Sometimes I get a feelin'
                         Am
Like I'm crawlin' on the ceilin'
                      F
But I'm still sittin' here
G            C
And avoidin' mirrors
 
 
[Chorus]
             Dm      G
I'm avoidin' mirrors
               Am
And talkin' to myself
            Dm
I've been doin' things
D7                  G
That ain't good for my health
 
 
[Verse 2]
N.C.              C      F
I followed her to Austin
                C
More than I can count
C
Looks like that's a game I
D7              G
Haven't figured out
                C
It really does amaze me
                     Am
I ain't gone completely crazy
                   F
I'm still standin' here
G            C
And avoidin' mirrors
 
 
[Pedal Steel Solo]
C  F  G  C
 
 
[Verse 3]
C
You know I hate to say it
F              C
But Fort Worth let me down
C
Yes, she really loved to go there
D7                      G
When she was still around
G7                C
I tried to ride a bronco
                     Am
I wasn't even at the rodeo
                  F
She left me lyin' here
G            C
And avoidin' mirrors
 
 
[Chorus]
             Dm      G
I'm avoidin' mirrors
                 Am
And starin' at a wall
                   Dm
I've been laughin' out loud
D              G
At the thought of it all
 
 
[Verse 4]
N.C.                   C
You can find me on the levy
F                  C
Just prayin' for a flood
C
While runnin' from a red horse
D7               G
Still flyin' up above
                  C
Sometimes I get a feelin'
                         Am
Like I'm crawlin' on the ceilin'
                      F
But I'm still waitin' here
G            C
And avoidin' mirrors
 
 
[Outro]
C                Am
Yeah, if I gotta be here
G            F       C
I'm avoidin' mirrors
