Somewhere out on the prairie
Is the greatest cowboy that's ever been
And when he lays his hands upon the ponies
They shudder with an understanding skin
And he says ponies
Now ponies don't you worry
I have not come to steal your fire away
I want to fly with you across the sunrise
Discover what begins each shining day
When the storm clouds in the west
Are quickly gathering
The ponies they run wild there
Before it rains
You'll see their sleek dark bodies
Brightly gleaming
You know the fire is flying through
Their brains
And he says ponies
Now ponies don't you worry
I have not come to steal your fire away
I want to fly with you across the sunrise
Discover what begins each shining day
And he says ponies
Now ponies don't you worry
I have not come to steal your fire away
I want to fly with you across the sunrise
Discover what begins each shining day
And he says ponies
Ponies don't you worry
I have not come to steal your fire away
I want to fly with you across the sunrise
Discover what begins each shining day
I want to fly

My late husband, Milt, loved this song - it is my favorite. It was popular when we lived on a ten acre farm in Michigan years ago. John Denver is a great artist.

I cried for a week at the loss of John Denver. I have all his records and tapes, and always adored his music.

I just got back from my latest deployment...this time to Afghanistan, and this song really tells the story for me...Oh the time that I can lay this tired old body down, feel your fingers feather soft upon me...
Awesome tune for me right now, Thanks JD...
