Verse 1:
Am E
This time we ride in on iron ponies,
Am F
Fire-breathing hot Milwaukee steel
Am F G
Back to lands of ancestors and ancient sacred grounds
F G Am
Visions of a life that seems so real
Verse 2:
Am E
Beasts that eat the miles like cotton candy,
Am F
Endless miles of hills with sage and grass
Am F G
Instead of feeding them the oats and corn that ponies love
F G Am
We ride three hundred miles and buy them gas.
Chorus 1:
Am E
Up into the Rockies we climb higher,
Am E
Cross the pass at hours very late
Am F G
Dropping down into a town that sparkles in the night
F G Am
Guided by a hand that seals our fate.
BREAK:
Am E Am E Am F G F G Am
Verse 3:
Am E
This time we outrun the storms and lightning
Am F
Instead of General Custer’s calvary
Am F G
Fly though towns with names like Yaak and Kalispell
F G Am
Past the battlegrounds like Wounded Knee.
Chorus 2:
Am E
But next time we’ll ride in on painted ponies
Am E
Ones that like to eat both oats and hay
Am F G
Reconnecting to a place we felt we’ve always known
F G Am
Coming home once more to finally stay.
Verse 3:
Am E
This time we ride in on iron ponies
Am F
Fire breathing hot Milwaukee steel
Am F G
Returning to land that’s still untouched by man
F G Am
Visions of a life that seems so real.
