Wild Pony

I just stand here baking in the sun all day

Swatin these flys chewin my hay

And every once in a while they'll brush me down

Throw a saddle on my back and ride me around

They bought me at an auction and ever since

Been lookin at the world through a split rail fence

They held me down and they burned this brand

They think I'm their's but they don't understand

chorus

There's a wild pony under my skin

I belong to the river the mountain and the wind

Gonna break these reigns just wait and see

A wild pony I will be

Great Grandad's daddy was an indian paint

He was watchin from the hills when the white man came

It was a thousand moons before I was born

But his spirit still calls me from Little Bighorn

And when I look to the meadow and up to the sky

I see my brothers the deer and the hawk fly by

And in my heart I know what I was meant to do

I ain't waitin around till they turn me glue

chorus

There's a wild pony under my skin

I belong to the river the mountain and the wind

Gonna break these reigns just wait and see

A wild pony I will be

If this livin

Then I ain't afraid of dying

I'd rather take my chances

With the wolf and the mountainlion

One of these nights when their sound asleep

I'm gonna clear this gate with one big leap

And when the Cheyenne sun wakes up the land

Well they'll finally know just what I am

chorus

There's a wild pony under my skin

I belong to the river the mountain and the wind

Gonna break these reigns just wait and see

A wild pony I will be

A wild pony I will be
