Think this is about music but more specifically Simple Chords. Says it right in the first phrase. "These chords are old but we shake hands", but there are "so many minor chords outside". The "bucket that the tunes go through" is his guitar. Second verse "My hands held on my mind let go" is a reference to using more difficult chords but then... "back to you my heart went skippin'" OH and "stealing glances with the chords" is an example of a literary technique called personification (I believe). You also can't shake hands with a chord, but he says it flat out in the first phrase. Last verse I'm still trying to make complete sense of, but basically the song does have a western feel. I believe when he says "You're not a good shot but I'm worse", he is cleverly stating that their relationship is a "long shot". The "little horse" I believe he is referring to is again his guitar.

Can you elaborate on and if possible rewrite for me the same phrases but in a simpler way?It helps me a...

Just a thought.
