Buckskin Pony

I oughtta take that buckskin pony

Saddle up to ride

Way out past the silvermine

On her silky hide

I met my higher power

In a meditation outright

She told me you're gonna be just fine

You got nothing but

Time

On your side

I chased that fear of death

With every pull on the bottle

When i meant to hit the break

My foot slipped to the throttle

Who knows just where i'd be

Half deaf or nearly drowned

I thank my lucky stars each night i was

Saved by the sound

In the stillness of the riverbed

There's still a rushing tide

And a current that could pull me down

To the ocean wide

I'd sink right to the bottom

Heavy as a stone

I may be all alone but at least i won't be found

Water all around

And i won't be

Found

I oughta take that buckskin pony

Saddle up to ride
