Blueberry Roan

She rides a blueberry roan
Down a long and lonely road
At the end of a dark and stormy day
Where the sky and the highway and the pony were the same shade of gray
When it's time for her to leave she just fades into the background
Like a memory of love that's gone astray
She don't need your promise, your loving or a reason
She don't need a sunset to ride away
Her soul was as easy as spring as ageless as time
Never did chestnut hair fall down the back of a woman so fine
Her heart like a rose made of paper
It was left out in the rain
She don't need your pleasing
Well maybe just a little squeezing
She don't need a sunset to ride away
She rides a blueberry roan
Down a long and lonely road
At the end of a dark and stormy day
Where the sky and the highway and the pony were the same shade of gray
When it's time for her to leave she just fades into the background
Like a memory of love that's gone astray
She don't need your promise, your loving or a reason
She don't need a sunset to ride away
Only the luckiest of man can sleep there in her arms
She's immune to the romance of the moon and your hayseed charm
She'll love you for the moment
But don't get your hopes up that she'll stay
There's something inside her that's trying fight her
It's just how that cowgirl's made
She rides a blueberry roan
Down a long and lonely road
At the end of a dark and stormy day
Where the sky and the highway and the pony were the same color gray
When it's time for her to leave she just fades into the background
Like a memory of love that's gone astray
She don't need your promise, your loving or a reason
She don't need a sunset to ride away
She don't need your promise, your loving or a reason
She don't need a sunset to ride away
