john hiatt - ride my pony lyrics
gray and chalky
like my granddaddy’s skin,
the sky was cold and lonely
and closin’ in
all the trees look
like stubble
on winter’s chin
and i think
i’ll ride my pony
there’s a wreath of bone’s
and ribbon hangin’ on
my cabin door
l-sty appet-tes have ravaged
all of summer’s stores
and the fear of death
don’t even come
to visit me no more
so i think i’ll ride my pony
ridin’ someplace lonesome
has no meaning
ridin’ somewhere
i ain’t stayed to long
ridin’ down
a mountain side careening
ridin’ up some open cut
with fate my only song
i think i’ll ride my pony
well the horseman you might say
he is a slave to the brute
but he loves that beast of burden
and there is no subst-tute
for the pleasure of his saddle
or the leather of his boot
so i think i’ll ride my pony
had a girl in d-ckson county
and we rode the highland rim
she kept my cabin warm in winter
and mended every hem
and i would have took her with me
but that trail never ends
so i think i’ll ride my pony
ridin’ where spring
comes up like roses
wraps it’s th-rns
and petals ’round my mind
ridin’ somewhere
only god supposes
i could ever dream
of gettin’ to,
from sneakin’ up behind
i think i’ll ride my pony
i think i’ll ride my pony
i think i’ll ride my pony
