Misfortune's Own Son |
The Wild horse he wonders up high on the mountain |
He grazes on short grass where Bitter winds blow |
He’s headed to nowhere with no time to spare |
Storm clouds are building and lookin' like snow |
With tight reins and curb chains can’t handle or hold him |
He don’t fit in fences he’s way to high strung |
His freedom don’t feed him and nobody needs him |
He’s just an old wild horse, misfortunes own son |
The old cowboy looks at his ropes and his riggin' |
Their all he has left that’s worth caryin' about |
Well him and that leather went through hell together |
It seems like their both getting close to worn out |
Well there ain’t too much call now for his kind of cowboy |
There aren’t enough wild horses out there to run |
Besides he too old but that’s all he knows |
He’s just an old cowboy, misfortunes own son |
Wild horses and old cowboys two of a kind |
Yesterday’s heroes the time left behind |
Wide open spaces are fast closing in |
Misfortunes own sons you won’t see them again |
The Wild horse is Weary, there’s snow on the mountain |
No peace in the valley, full of highways and towns |
The old man just spent his last day in the saddle |
There’s no reason to ride now the old days are gone |
But you can’t hardly blame them for trying to hold onto |
Their own way of life now it’s over and done |
Just lonesome reminders left over survivors |
The old cowboy and the wild horse misfortunes own son |
Wild horses and old cowboys two of a kind |
Yesterday’s heroes the time left behind |
Wide open spaces are fast closing in |
Misfortunes own sons you won’t see them again |
