That definitely reminds me of the time I was just running down the road trying to loosen my load. I had seven women on my mind. Four that wanted to own me, two that wanted to stone me, one said she was a friend of mine.

But then I saw her face, now I’m a believer. without a trace, no doubt in my mind… I’m in love…oooooo. I’m a believer.

Was that the night they drove ole Dixie down? If I recall, all the bells were ringing, and all the people singing. They sang “Naa na-na na-na-naa, na-na na-na na-na na-naa-naa.”

She didn’t need to. The pony she named Wildfire, with a whirlwind by her side, on a cold Nebraska night. But 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

That’s cuz there was a storm across the valley; the clouds were rollin’ in. The afternoon was heavy on his shoulders. You hear about that truck out on the four-lane? It was a mile or more away, but the whining of his wheels just made it colder.
