Lyrics Ponies - Michael Johnson

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"
