[offset:-100]
[00:01.44]Always alone
[00:05.83]Never with a herd
[00:10.43]Prettiest mare I've ever seen
[00:14.35]You'll have to take my word
[00:18.27][01:06.41][01:29.84][03:11.81][03:35.79][04:15.20]I'm going to catch that horse if I can
[00:25.95][01:14.16][03:20.36][04:22.63]And when I do I'll give her my brand
[00:34.07]Well I was up on Stony Ridge
[00:35.84]After this chestnut mare, been chasing her for weeks
[00:42.37]Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
[00:45.43]Taking her meal, bathing, fine lady
[00:51.46]This one day I happen to be real close to her
[00:53.31]And I saw her standing over there
[00:56.25]So I snuck up on her nice and easy
[01:00.27]Got my rope out
[01:02.34]And I flung it in the air!
[01:21.82][03:28.22][04:30.40]And we'll be friends for life
[01:25.68][03:31.89][04:34.11]She'll be just like a wife
[01:37.63]And I got her and I'm pulling on her
[01:39.50]And she's pulling back like this mule going up a ladder
[01:45.42]And I take a choice and I jump right up on her
[01:49.26]Damned if I don't land right on top of her
[01:52.08]And she takes off, running up onto the ridge
[01:56.51]Higher than I've ever been before
[01:59.99]She's running along just fine
[02:03.31]'Til she stops and something spooked her
[02:05.46]It's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike
[02:10.99]She doesn't know what to do for a second
[02:12.47]But then, she jumps off the edge, me holding on
[02:17.38]Above the hills, higher than eagles were gliding
[02:24.14]Suspended in the sky
[02:30.75]Over the moon
[02:33.34]Straight for the sun we were riding
[02:37.89]My eyes were filled with light
[02:43.87]Behind those black walls
[02:46.84]Below was a bottomless canyon
[02:51.78]Floating with no sound
[02:57.91]Ghosts far below
[03:00.71]Seemed to be suddenly rising
[03:05.17]Exploding all around
[03:43.90]We were falling
[03:45.55]Down this crevice
[03:47.47]About about a mile down it seem
[03:50.67]And I looked down
[03:51.26]And I see this red thing below us coming up real fast
[03:54.60]And it's our reflection that's
[03:56.32]This little pool of water about six feet wide and one foot deep
[04:01.59]And we're falling down right through it
[04:04.78]We hit, we splashed it dry
[04:07.38]That's when I lost my hold
[04:09.58]And she got away
[04:11.25]But I'm gonna try and get her again some day
[04:38.18]I'm going to catch that horse,
[04:41.77]I'm going to catch that horse
[04:45.73]I'm going to catch that horse, if I can,
[04:53.35]I'm going to catch that horse, if I can
