Gray and chalky like my granddaddy’s skin | |
Sky was cold and lonely and closin’ in | |
All the trees look like stubble on winters chin | |
And I think | |
I’ll ride my pony | |
There’s a wreath of bones and ribbon hangin’ on my cabin door | |
Lusty appetites 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 | |
BruteBut he loves that beast of burden and there is no substitute | |
For the pleasure of his saddle or the leather of his boot | |
So I think | |
I’ll ride my pony | |
Had a girl in | |
Dickson 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 its thorns 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 |
Gray and chalky like my granddaddy' s skin | |
Sky was cold and lonely and closin' in | |
All the trees look like stubble on winters chin | |
And I think | |
I' ll ride my pony | |
There' s a wreath of bones and ribbon hangin' on my cabin door | |
Lusty appetites 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 | |
