Get Back On That Pony

Seven years old on a gold palomino

I sat up tall with my face to the wind

I'd seen the rodeo cowboys in Reno

So I dug in my boot heels and pulled on the reins

And Blaze, he took off running

He threw me down off the side

Then my uncle Jim picked me up once again

Said get back on that pony and ride

Get back on that pony and ride

So lift up your head, boy, I know how you're feeling

You say you won't ride with a chance you might lose

You fallen from love and your head is still reeling

Your heart and your pride have been shaken and bruised

Like Blaze, she took off running

Love threw you down off the side

But stand up again, shake it off if you can

Get back on that pony and ride

Get back on that pony and ride

I'm not saying forget what you lost

I suppose there's a purpose in pain

What we make of ourselves has a cost

And it's paid every time we take hold of the reins

So dust off your blue jeans

Get back in the saddle

Losing's a place to start over again

Gettin' back up there is half of the battle

And love like a pony should race with the wind

And like Blaze, it takes off running

It may throw you down off the side

Stand up again, shake it off if you can

And get back on that pony and ride

Get back on that pony and ride
