riderless pony needs no bridle
riderless pony needs no bridle
road shifting blown with the sands
watering hole palmed in a tin can
riderless pony needs no bridle

Jesus standing in a web of light
Jesus standing in a web of light
screen door banging out a rhyme
red dust hanging in the indigo skyline
Jesus standing in a web of light

Reverend Jones preaching with one arm tied
Reverend Jones preaching with one arm tied
choir singing like a hurricane wind
monkey dancing with a long toothed grin
Reverend Jones preaching with one arm tied

shovel and stone will find the man
shovel and stone will find the man
dig into the rich red vein
draw salvation ease the pain
shovel and stone will find the man
