Somewhere out on the prairie Is the greatest cowboy that's ever been And when he lays his hands upon the ponies They shudder with an understanding skin
And he says ponies Now ponies don't you worry I have not come to steal your fire away I want to fly with you across the sunrise Discover what begins each shining day
When the storm clouds in the west Are quickly gathering The ponies they run wild there Before it rains
You'll see their sleek dark bodies Brightly gleaming You know the fire is flying through Their brains
And he says ponies Now ponies don't you worry I have not come to steal your fire away I want to fly with you across the sunrise Discover what begins each shining day
And he says ponies Now ponies don't you worry I have not come to steal your fire away I want to fly with you across the sunrise Discover what begins each shining day
And he says ponies Ponies don't you worry I have not come to steal your fire away I want to fly with you across the sunrise Discover what begins each shining day I want to fly
