词汇 | if you ain’t the lead horse the scenery never changes |
词源 | If you ain’t the lead horse, the scenery never changes. A humorous American expression I’ve only found in Thomas McGuane’s Keep the Change (1989): “My old man used to say, ‘If you ain’t the lead horse, the scenery never changes.’ Now it looks like I might lose the place. I need to get out front with that lead horse.” |
