Ponies Lyrics - John Denver

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the Different Directions album, and has also been released on The Gift You Are and The John Denver Collection - Take Me Home, Country Roads albums. 

Somewhere out on the prairie 

Is the greatest cowboy that's ever been 

And when he lays his hands upon the ponies 

They shudder with an understanding skin 

And he says ponies 

Now ponies don't you worry 

I have not come to steal your fire away 

I want to fly with you across the sunrise 

Discover what begins each shining day 

When the storm clouds in the west 

Are quickly gathering 

The ponies they run wild there 

Before it rains

You'll see their sleek dark bodies 

Brightly gleaming 

You know the fire is flying through 

Their brains 

And he says ponies 

Now ponies don't you worry 

I have not come to steal your fire away 

I want to fly with you across the sunrise 

Discover what begins each shining day 

And he says ponies 

Now ponies don't you worry 

I have not come to steal your fire away 

I want to fly with you across the sunrise 

Discover what begins each shining day

And he says ponies 

Ponies don't you worry

Discover what begins each shining day 

I want to fly
