lyrics

I always pictured myself living in the country
Pack of wolves as dogs at my door
You can lead a horse to water but you can't
make her yours

I had my pick of horses
Until that mare stared me down
Wild wind and mud on our courses
Never enough to slow us down

As we preside across the prairie
Holding out for rain
Then come the babies
you and I must raise
On our own
Holding out for rain

Walking with a horse in tow
Is like wandering
When you're turning out and
turning in for the night
You won't be alone with the moon
and mares by your side

We wake up one day and
wean the babies
And send them off on their own
I would chose you as my lady
Lady and I
On our way up into the sky
Higher and higher
