The bouncing of the pony makes me giggle with delight

My body thirsts for freedom

My young legs can't carry me fast enough

The Journey is long and I don't want to take it alone

If I don't get away he will beat me again

The Rhythm is so hypnotic I forget the past

When I lift this saddle I remember each moment

I have to earn a living

The land is vast and time is short

My love waits impatiently

He is losing blood, fast

The weather is so perfect

The snow is waist deep

I have family in Kansas

I won't let them take my memories

I want to see another day

I have to get home before dark

Supper's waitin'

I haven't eaten in days

The past is always one step behind

The future is just over the next bluff

The letter sounded urgent

They said this letter was urgent

It's my passion

It's my job

It's my release

It's my way

It's my glory

It's my secret

It's my strength

It's my mission

It's my future

It's my adventure

It's my life

.........So I ride
