As She Walked Away

As She Walked Away He watched her walk away that day The tears ran down his nose Her walk was frisky from behind She knew just how to pose A new man led her sure and strong And he could feel her smile His heart ached like he'd lost it all As she left him in style He recalled those soft summer nights When they would ride 'til dawn He'd rub her shoulders gently then 'Til all the ache was gone Then they'd stand high on mountain tops While she would breathe the air They'd watch the world as it rolled by Without a single care He'd never seen beauty like hers As proud as he could be Other men would stare and whisper None walked as proud as she Then hard times came and raised their head He was forced to sell her He was a horse breeder, that's all - Not a wealthy feller
