The Highwaymen - Silver Stallion (Official Video)

Since it is a Monday morning it might be nice to change the tempo and type of music and for my first Music Interlude for today, I selected the Highwaymen to bring us back to a time long ago in the free wheeling era of cowboys and the open spaces of the west... Ride with me now as the Highwaymen pony up and perform "Silver Stallion"!

LYRICS:

"Silver Stallion"

[Kris Kristofferson:]
I'm gonna steal a silver stallion,
With not a mark upon his silky hide
Teach him he can trust me like a brother,
One day we'll saddle up and ride

[All together, Johnny Cash lead:]
And we're gonna ride,we're gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds
With the devil close behind
We're gonna ride

[Waylon Jennings:]
I'm gonna find me a reckless woman,
Razor blades and dice in her eyes
Just a touch of sadness in her fingers,
Thunder and lightening in her thighs

[All together, Johnny Cash lead:]
And we're gonna ride,we're gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds
With the devil close behind
We're gonna ride

[Willie Nelson:]
I'm gonna chase the sky forever,
With the woman and the stallion and the wind
The sun is gonna burn into a cinder,
Before we ever pass this way again

[All together, Johnny Cash lead:]
And we're gonna ride,we're gonna ride
Ride like the one eyed jack of diamonds
With the devil close behind
We're gonna ride
