Mustang

from Dirt by Jared Rogerson

lyrics

I wedged my hand in the riggin’ as I stepped down in the chutes/ Pushed my hat down tight and hollered turn her loose/ She went out and threw a fit, kicking for the sky/ I landed face down in the mud and they all wonder why/

A mustang was my first love/ A mustang, every night I was thinking of
that wild horse tattoo and how high we flew/ I became a man on a mustang

In a 1969 Mach 1 I was taking on the world/ Driving down the road with college books and a college girl/ I never thought we’d go that far in the early autumn rain/ In the back seat of a car, middle of the day, in

A mustang, where I first tasted love/ A mustang, every night I was thinking of her buckaroo tattoo and how high we flew/ I became a man in a mustang

Oh, how the years go by/ I wish someone could tell me why it has to be like this

We found you in the sagebrush, an orphan of the range/ Yeah, me and that college girl gave you the name Mustang/ And you returned the favor raising our two little kids/ And now you’re old, but before you go, I have to tell you this

Mustang, I pray you know how much I love you/ Little Mustang, I’ll be thinking of you/ You carried me on the day I took her hand/ I became a man on a mustang

Mustang
