Blueberry Roan

She rides a blueberry roan Down a long and lonely road At the end of a dark and stormy day Where the sky and the highway and the pony were the same shade of gray When it's time for her to leave she just fades into the background Like a memory of love that's gone astray She don't need your promise, your loving or a reason She don't need a sunset to ride away Her soul was as easy as spring as ageless as time Never did chestnut hair fall down the back of a woman so fine Her heart like a rose made of paper It was left out in the rain She don't need your pleasing Well maybe just a little squeezing She don't need a sunset to ride away She rides a blueberry roan Down a long and lonely road At the end of a dark and stormy day Where the sky and the highway and the pony were the same shade of gray When it's time for her to leave she just fades into the background Like a memory of love that's gone astray She don't need your promise, your loving or a reason She don't need a sunset to ride away Only the luckiest of man can sleep there in her arms She's immune to the romance of the moon and your hayseed charm She'll love you for the moment But don't get your hopes up that she'll stay There's something inside her that's trying fight her It's just how that cowgirl's made She rides a blueberry roan Down a long and lonely road At the end of a dark and stormy day Where the sky and the highway and the pony were the same color gray When it's time for her to leave she just fades into the background Like a memory of love that's gone astray She don't need your promise, your loving or a reason She don't need a sunset to ride away She don't need your promise, your loving or a reason She don't need a sunset to ride away
