Michael Johnson Ponies song lyrics

Somewhere out on the prairie

Is the greatest cowboy that's ever been

And when he lays his hands upon the ponies

They shudder with an understanding skin

And he says "Ponies, now ponies, don't you worry

I have not come to steal your fire away

I want to fly with you across the sunrise

Discover what begins each shining day"

When the storm clouds in the west are quickly gathering

The ponies they run wildly before it rains

You'll see their sleek dark bodies brightly gleaming

You'll know the fire is flying through their brains

And he says "Ponies, now ponies, don't you worry

I have not come to steal your fire away

I want to fly with you across the sunrise

Discover what begins each shining day"
