Joe Ely - Run Little Pony Lyrics

I went down to the races to watch my pony run
Down to the races to watch my pony run
Lookin' at the faces, lookin' for the fastest one

I took my money, money I'd saved for rent
I took my money, money I'd saved for rent
Forgive me honey, I'll give it up for lent

Run little pony, run like you're runnin' from sin
Run little pony, run like the crazy wind

Play your bugle, boy, play it fast and hard
Play your bugle, boy, play it fast and hard
Here come the ponies, come trottin' out in the yard

The odds against me, they laid 'em seven to one
Odds were against me, they laid 'em at seven to one
Cold sweat like to drench me, when the starter man fired his gun

Run little pony, run like you're runnin' from sin
Run little pony, run like the crazy wind

I yelled and I cheered and praised the lord above
I yelled and I cheered and praised the lord above
My Little Pony come in, one head out in front

Out all night until the mornin' sun
Out all night until the mornin' sun
Buyin' all the drinks with the money I had won

Run little pony, run like you're runnin' from sin
Run little pony, run like the crazy wind

Next thing I knew I was lookin' thru cold hard steel
Next thing I knew I was lookin' thru cold hard steel
Ain't got a brain in my head, guess I never will
