Let That Pony Run

Mary was married with children Had the perfect suburban life Til her husband came clean with the help of Jim Beam And confessed all his sins in one night Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid Said she made him feel reckless and young And when he got through, what else could she do She just let that pony run You do what you gotta do You know what you know You hang on til you can't hang on And then you learn to let go You get what you want sometimes But when it's all said and done You do what you gotta do And then you let that pony run Mary moved to West Virginia After the shock wore off She got a divorce and a chestnut horse And a barn with an old hayloft And sometimes she rides by the river Says it makes her feel reckless and young She closes her eyes and she holds on tight And she lets that pony run
