lyrics

Ten Cent Pony


starin' down the tunnel at the light there at the end
I swore I recognized someone - I thought it was a friend
we laughed in fits of frenzy as we called each other names
then the dark blanketed both of us as the night swallowed the flames


The hands of time they swept unchecked like blurred propeller blades
No time for broken rearview mirrors no time to make the grade
Carried on the wings of prayer not yet quite sanctified
Bar room dancin round and round but still unsatisfied

chorus: Now ride that pony for a dime - go on and kick your heels
Soak in the magic of its spell – drink up all you can feel
Aint the ride that makes your cowboy soul dance like a prairie loon
S'just the folly in your heart that dares defy the end that's comin soon

and there they sit on mountain tops throw'n lightning bolts at fools
t'so easy to laugh loud and bold when you wrote that book of rules
Hear the trumpets? see the shadows? feel the boot heels marching near?
To them its vague illusion - never worry, never fear

chorus: So ride that pony for a dime - go on and kick your heels
soak in the magic of its spell – drink up all you can feel
aint the ride that makes your cowboy soul dance like a prairie loon
s'just the folly in your heart that dares defy that end that's comin soon
