Two three four
Counting off beats or steps to initiate an action.
Let's go place some money on the order of the horses
Expressing a desire to place bets on horse races.
Break the ribbon of that famous finish line
Describing the act of breaking the ribbon at the end of a race, suggesting completion or achievement.
And we'll gather up our stash babe
Suggesting accumulating money or possessions.
Find a little ranch baby and buy a lonely little pony to ride

Well I know I was lucky when the needle came and stuck me
Reflecting on a fortunate event involving a needle, possibly a metaphorical reference to luck.
This porcupine came and poked my cactus hide
Describing an encounter with a porcupine that metaphorically poked the speaker's emotional defenses.
So let me finish what I start babe open up your heart babe
Encouraging someone to be open and complete what they started.
I saw a land of milk and honey in your mind
Imagining a utopian place in the other person's mind.
Our flesh and blood has found me in your arms again
Expressing the closeness and intimacy found in the other person's embrace.
See the whisper of the wind has found your hair again
Noticing the subtle signs of nature (whisper of the wind) in the other person.
And though my heart said give me refuge in you dignity my dear

All I could do was put a seashell to your ear
Using a seashell as a metaphorical means of communication, possibly indicating a lack of direct expression or understanding.
Our flesh and blood has found me in your arms again
Repeating the theme of closeness and intimacy in the other person's embrace.
I see the whisper of the wind has found your hair again
Reiterating the observation of nature's signs in the other person.
And though my heart said give me refuge in your dignity my dear
Repeating the desire for refuge in the other person's dignity but feeling limited.
All I could do was put a seashell to your ear
Repeating the metaphor of using a seashell to communicate, emphasizing a barrier or distance.
