Bucking Horse Moon
Down a one lane road there's a dusty fairgroundWhere I learned the bronc trade and I fell in loveWith a blue eyed twister and her smoky whisperShe said "they call me the Cimarron Dove"We'd spool our bedrolls on down togetherMy calloused hands combed through her hairShe'd stare at a star through an old mesquite tree"See that moon shadow, there's a bucking horse there"Sweet bird of youth, no easy keeperFlown with the seasons all too soonBeneath Montana's blue roan skiesNevada starlight and a bucking horse moonOur love reeled out like a Western movieDown hard worn highways through the rodeo townsWrapped in her wings for the midnight flightThat bucking horse moon kept shining downBucking horse moon on the hood of the truckShe'd smile and say "that means good luckBucking horse shadow through the purple sageWe'll ride forever our love won't age"But heart and bone are made for breakingSongtexteThe Cimarron Dove's flown with the windThen a bronc in Prescott rolled on my backI'll never ride rough stock againSweet bird of youth, no easy keeperFlown with the seasons all too soonBeneath Montana's blue roan skiesNevada starlight and a bucking horse moonI lost my youth on the dusty fairgroundsI'm an old bronc fighter long past high noonBut on a haunted night wind I can hear her whisperingAs I search the heavens for the bucking horse moonThe Cimarron Dove and the bucking horse moonSweet bird of youth, no easy keeperFlown with the seasons all too soonBeneath Montana's blue roan skiesNevada starlight and the bucking horse moonWyoming sundown and a bucking horse moon Aus Songtexte Mania
