Wildfire
(Verse 1)
She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night
Oh, 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
(Chorus)
She ran calling Wildfire
Calling Wildfire
Calling Wildfire
(Verse 2)
In the dark of the moon, I planted
But there came an early snow
Been a hoot-owl howling outside my window now
For six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go
(Chorus)
We'll be ridin' Wildfire
We'll be ridin' Wildfire
We'll be ridin' Wildfire
On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get the hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire
