Story Behind the Song
I wrote this in the spirit of The Grateful Dead...Americana hero caught in hard times with hard choices...You'll notice there is no "pony" in the lyrics, well, that's because somebody left the gate open and he got out......
Lyrics
The Pony Song
�BROOKS
Do I grudge ‘em an inch
Or roll out a mile?
Shoot ‘em the finger or
Flash ‘em a smile?
Would somebody show me
Which way I oughta go?
Do I take the high road or the low?
My dead brother’s
Wife is looking pretty good
He left her lotsa money
And every acre that he could.
Funny, she don’t seem so sad
You know, she smiles when I come around
And he’s only half a month in the ground.
Six of one, a half a dozen of the other
We’re all gonna die...... so why even bother to choose
My employer
Drinks till he passes out
Never locks up the payroll
He just collapses on the couch.
I’m lookin’ in that big ole’ safe
And I’m thinking about the road.
Do I tuck him in or slit his throat?
Six of one, a half a dozen of the other
We’re all gonna die...... so why even bother to choose
I’m staring at the doctor
With matching cannons on his oak desk.
I’m chilled without my shirt and coat
“Hey Doc, what’s growing in my chest ?”
Lookin’ up from his paperwork
He says “It’s the same thing that got your brother”
Son do you need a gun or would you rather smother?”
Six of one, a half a dozen of the other
We’re all gonna die...... so why even bother to choose
