I always pictured myself living in the country
Pack of wolves as dogs at my door
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make her yours
I had my pick of horses until that mare stared me down
Wild winds and mud on our courses never enough to slow us down
As we preside across the prairie
Holding out for rain
Then come the babies you and I must raise
On their own holding out for rain
Walking with a horse in tow is like wandering
When you're turning out and turning in for the night
You won't be alone with the moon and mares by your side
We wake up one day and wean the babies and send them off on their own
You have chosen me my lady
Lady and I on our way up into the sky
Higher and higher
