Which Way Does That Old Pony Run — текст песни (Lyle Lovett)

When I was a very young man

I was a cowboy

The best in the land

But then she settled me down

With a touch of her hand

Now Im begging you mister

Tell me if you can



Which way does that old pony run

Which way does that old pony run

And how much is that saddle

And a straight shooting gun

Which way does that old pony run



Now a young girl

She dont know when shes lying

But a woman

Great God she knows how its done

So mama before I go

Theres just one thing on my mind

Which way does that old pony run



Which way does that old pony run

Which way does that old pony run

And how much is that saddle

And a straight shooting gun

Which way does that old pony run



So this good life you know I must leave

Your new car

And your color tv

But whats riches to you

Just aint riches to me

And if youre staying out here

Then Im headed back east



Which way does that old pony run

Which way does that old pony run

And how much is that saddle

And a straight shooting gun

Which way does that old pony run
