Saddle my pony and away I will ride
To where the cattle still run a plenty
The fields ain't broke by the highway lines
The black snake, that murders the prairie
The coyote's song seems twice as long
And he ain't no danger for singing
The wild wind cuts me to my bone
Yeah, she always knows where I'm lying
Ride through the hills where the sweet grasses grow
And there ain't no trails for the travelling
When the sun sings slow and I'm all alone
It's my love's voice, calling for the grasses
A ride till I'm gone
Just spec in the sky
A silhouette, barely flickering
And I'll pass you by on the runway light
As I'm leaving, a long time coming
