Lyle Lovett - Which Way Does That Old Pony Run lyrics

When i was a very young man I was a cowboy The best in the land But then she settled me down With a touch of her hand Now i'm begging you mister Tell me if you can Which way does that old pony run Which way does that old pony run And how much is that saddle And a straight shooting gun Which way does that old pony run Now a young girl She don't know when she's lying But a woman Great god she knows how its done So mama before i go There's just one thing on my mind Which way does that old pony run Which way does that old pony run Which way does that old pony run And how much is that saddle And a straight shooting gun Which way does that old pony run So this good life you know i must leave Your new car And your color tv But what's riches to you Just ain't riches to me And if you're staying out here Then i'm headed back east Which way does that old pony run Which way does that old pony run And how much is that saddle And a straight shooting gun Which way does that old pony run
