歌詞
[Verse 1]
The saddest thing I think
That I ever saw
Was a little buckskin pony
Mourning from her stall
The mama lay beside the fence
Under a tarp out in the rain
Peeking from the plastic
Was her honey-colored mane
[Verse 2]
I sat down on a water trough
Wrung my hands and cried
"Suppose we're all just animals
With slightly different hides"
[Verse 3]
I never got used to watching horses die
They die badly, it has kept me up at night
I never got used to watching horses die
Count my pretty ponies
When I greet the morning light
[Verse 4]
The horses got to running
On one cooling summer day
Feeling tine and frisky
Till a hole got in the way
A boss mare tore her shoulder
Her stance was at a tilt
Now she's softly sleeping under
The green alfalfa quilt
[Verse 5]
Graddy Prewilt took his Bobcat
And buried her for me
The dead wagon must turn around
How happy I should be
[Verse 6]
I never got used to watching horses die
They die badly, it has kept me up at night
I never got used to watching horses die
Count my pretty ponies
When I greet the morning light
[Verse 7]
Wild horses are in excess
Herds are growing by the day
The once prized domestic pet
Ain't worth the price of hay
[Verse 8]
They've been turned out on to strip mines
Get to starving once it's snowed
They'll wonder off the mountain top
To lick salt off of the roads
[Verse 9]
This little girl inside me
Is chomping at the bit
She cannot save them all
A truth hard to admit
[Verse 10]
I never got used to watching horses die
They die badly, it has kept me up at night
I never got used to watching horses die
Count my pretty ponies
When I greet the morning light
[Verse 11]
I never got used to watching horses die
Count my pretty ponies
When I greet the morning light
