We'll be riding Wildfire




She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night















Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down its stall
In a blizzard he was lost




She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire
She ran calling Wildfire



By the dark of the moon I planted
But there came an early snow
There's been a hoot-owl howling by my window now
For six nights in a row



She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go






We'll be riding Wildfire
We'll be riding Wildfire
We'll be riding Wildfire


On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get these hard times right on out of our minds
