Which Way Does That Old Pony Run Lyrics - Lovett Lyle

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
