Well I was up on stony ridge after this chestnut mare
That's when I lost my hold and she got away
Damned if I don't land right on top of her
And we were falling down this crevice, about a mile down I'd say
Takin' her meal, bathin', a fine lady
Exploding all around
You'll have to take my word
And when I do I'll give her my brand
We hit and we splashed it dry
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
Comin' up real fast and it's our reflection, it's a little pool of water
She doesn't know what to do for a second
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And she takes off, runnin' up on to the ridge
About six feet wide and one foot deep
I saw her standin' over there
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
She's runnin' along just fine, till she stops something spooked her
And we'll be friends for life, she'll be just like a wife
Over the moon straight for the sun we were riding
And when I do I'll give her my brand
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
Above the humes higher than eagles were gliding
I look down and I see this red thing below us
And we'll be friends for life, she'll be just like a wife
My eyes were filled with light
But I'm gonna try to get her again some day
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And we'll be friends for life, she'll be just like a wife
And I got her and I'm pullin' on her
Higher than I've ever been before
It's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike
Been chasin' her for weeks
And when I do I'll give her my brand
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
Suspended in the sky
Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
I'm going to catch that horse
So I snuck up on her nice and easy
Behind us black walls below us a bottomless canyon
I'm going to catch that horse
This one day I happened to be real close to her
And she's pullin' back like this mule goin' up a ladder
I got my rope out and I flung it in the air
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
Floating with no sound
But then she jumps off the edge, me holding on
And I take a choice and I jump right up on her
Gulls far below seemed to be suddenly rising
And when I do I'll give her my brand
And we're crawling down right through it
