[Intro]
-
[Verse]
Met her on
a harvest
moon, onc
e upon a time
in the mid-
west
She told me
as we stole aw
ay, that
she was freer
than all the
rest
[Pre-chorus]
With her hair
cut like a
farmboy and h
er cards so cl
ose to her br
east
Just how much
harm she could
do me...
No, I never
would have gu
essed
[Chorus]
Don't go cha
sing wild poni
es; they'r
e half crazy a
nd they run
Don't go lovin
' short haired
women, they'r
e gonna leave
you cryin'
after thinking
it was all in
fun
[Verse]
We came up
on a boomer sh
ack; she br
oke the window
s just
because
Later along
the railroad
track, she la
id me down-- t
hat's how she
was
[Pre-chorus]
With the firs
t rush of the
freight train,
there was rai
n on the high
summer corn
"Oh, it's just
a game," she
told me;
I said, "No,
I am
reborn"
[Chorus]
Don't go cha
sing wild poni
es; they'r
e half crazy w
hen they run
Don't go lovin
' short haired
women, they'r
e gonna leave
you cryin'
after thinking
it was all in
fun
[Interlude]
hmm-
mmm,
all in
fun
