Michael Martin Murphey & the Rio Grande Band - "Wildfire"

There have been many wildfires in the State of California and elsewhere, but that is not the only Wildfire and a man by the name of Michael Martin Murphey wrote a song based on a dream he had one night,... The song is titled "Wildfire" and is performed here by Michael Murphey & The Rio Grande Band... One of my favorites from a long ago era...

LYRICS:

"Wildfire" by Michael Murphey and the Rio Grand Band

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
Been a hoot-owl howling outside my window now
'Bout six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

We'll be ridin' Wildfire
We'll be ridin' Wildfire
We'll be ridin' Wildfire

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

Writer(s) Michael Martin Murphey

I hope you enjoy this beautiful song about a horse named Wildfire...
