about this song
"All The Tired Horses" repeats two lines (and only those lines), over and over again, from start to end. Lyrically, the song's absurdly simple for an artist who made his legend on his words more than anything else, but that seeming absurdity is a crucial part of the song's story. Just off the heels of Nashville Skyline, which sold well but left many longtime fans confused (and some flat-out angry) because of its country styling and simple, life-affirming lyrics, Self Portrait further separated Dylan from his old fanbase.
