Wild Horses
Wild Horses
I want wild horses and my funeral bright
prancing in hooves shod in solid gold
Even wilder horses at my grave site
I beg this end when I get too damn old!
I want six-shooters there loud blasting
and cowboys wearing sharp toe boots
I never planned on this trip long lasting
always, great pride in my Southern roots!
There was a pretty senorita a'dancing
O' once she meant the world to me
I want to remember our deep romancing
like smooth waves on a shining sea!
Nights I spent drinking and fighting
STILL BRING A BIG SMILE TO ME
I SEE HER AGAIN, MOON JUST A'LIGHTING
that jet-black hair flowing so free!
Time has way of hurting and a'eroding
sending long cold shivers a'shaking
Pray I see her again just a'holding
apple pie for me she was a'baking!
I want wild horses and my funeral bright
prancing in hooves shod in solid gold
Even wilder horses at my grave site
I beg this end when I get too damn old!

Date -ancient, maybe 69 or 70..
Note- OK, I made it(too damn old).. Now I want those horses a few more decades later- for life has given me both hope and love.
My death, A'waitin' on me, instead of me A'waitin' on it..
