| Lyrics: | 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 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.
(chorus)
'Cause you do what you
gotta do,
and you know what you know.
You hang on till you can't hang on,
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
then you let that pony run.
Now 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.
Sometimes she rides down by the river,
said it makes her feel
reckless and young.
She just closes her eyes, and she holds on tight,
and she lets that
pony run.
(repeat chorus |
