I oughta take that buckskin pony
Saddle up to ride
Way out past the silver mine
On his 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
Nothing but time on your side
I chased that fear of death
With every pull on the bottle
When i meant to hit the brake
My foot slipped to the throttle
Who knows just where I'd be
Half deaf and nearly drowned
I'm thanking my lucky stars each night I was
Saved by the sound
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
I won't be found
I oughta take that buckskin pony
Saddle up to ride
