Wildfire

(Michael Murphey/L. Cansler)

She comes down from Yellow Mountain

On a dark flat land she rides

On a pony she named Wildfire

A whirlwind by her side

On a cold Nebraska night

 

They say she died one winter

When there came a killing frost

And the pony she named Wildfire

Busted down his stall

In a blizzard he was lost

 

She ran calling Wildfire

Calling Wildfire

Calling Wildfire

 

So by the dark of the moon I planted

But there came an early snow

There's been a hoot owl howling outside my window now

Six nights in a row

She's coming for me I know

And on Wildfire

We're both gonna go

 

We'll be riding Wildfire

We'll be riding Wildfire

On Wildfire we're gonna ride

Gonna leave sod busting behind

Got the hard times right on out of our minds

Riding Wildfire
