Sure, screw with the classics. Next thing you know you'll be nominating Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphey.
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
She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire
By the dark of the moon, I planted - but there came an early snow
There's been a hoot owl howlin' by my window now for six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know - and on Wildfire we're both gonna go
We'll be riding Wildfire
We'll be riding Wildfire
We'll be riding Wildfire
On Wildfire we're gonna ride; we're gonna leave sod-bustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds, riding Wildfire
I always cry when I think of that poor widdle pony out in the blizzard. Stupid bitch should have taken better care of her horse.
