CHORUS:
He runs away from time to time
If somehow only in his mind
He rides away and feels the wind
And somehow slows the hands of time
1.
A Kansas wheat field in the summer
The Yampa Valley in the fall
And there's a place up in Wyoming
He remembers most of all
2.
It was up there in that canyon
Where the mountains touch the sky
With his pony and his bed roll
He sees his youth go flyin' by
CHORUS
3.
There's a time when he was married
Lord that woman loved him so
But the wind it made her crazy
He finally had to let her go
CHORUS
4.
I remember when I saw him
In that big old easy chair
He was lookin' out the window
With that thousand meter stare
5.
He's just out there on that pony
On his back he feels the sun
And in his heart he still remembers
How that pony loved to run
