about

One of the first songs I wrote in Española

lyrics

Pony Ride (Tune down guitar a whole step)



G
Down and out on a Sunday drive
I saw a sign that said “pony ride”
D
I saw a Mexican man in rhinestones shining bright
Em C
Selling pony rides
Em C
To the other side
Em D G
Pony rides five bucks a pop
I’m having a bad day, A real bad day
Can I have a buckin’ pony ride
I want a pony ride, To the other side, I want a pony ride
To change my rotten perspective
“No, you’re too big for the ponies
You’re gonna break their backs
You’re too big for the ponies
Gonna break their backs”
No pony ride, to the other side, no pony ride
To change your rotten perspective
Pony ride! Pony ride!
Well he said that things were slow
So he’d let me have a go
He led me around the parking lot in tow
I got a pony ride, to the other side, I got a pony ride
And it changed my rotten perspective
I got a special forces wife
With a tongue like a bowie knife
Can I have a fuckin pony ride?
I want a pony ride, to the other side, I want a pony ride
To change my rotten perspective
Pony ride! Pony ride!
Having a bad day
Take your breath away
Can I have a fuckin pony ride?
I want a pony ride, To the other side, I want a pony ride
To change my rotten perspective
