ponderosa (live) - jack hardy lyrics

[intro]
thank you
this song dates to my cowboy days
um, this takes place up the tree line in colorado
as high as you can graze a horse
it’s called “ponderosa”

[verse 1]
ponderosa and pinyon pine
the high chaparral ‘neath the borderline
tryin’ hard to lose, tryin’ hard to find
horse and a mule way past summertime
this was my world, this was all i knew
barbed wire and blankets and a steel horseshoe
no luck in leavin’ ten thousand clues
no one will find or follow you
ponderosa, ponderosa and pinyon pine

[verse 2]
boarded windows, stone fireplace
horse tack on shelving in a cluttered sp*cе
not at all a place for calico and lace
not wherе i thought i would ever see your face
my father told me this was no life
with the wind so bold and the frost a knife
but no book learnin’ can tell it right
’bout the solitude, ’bout the snowy white
ponderosa, ponderosa and pinyon pine
[verse 3]
white the shoulders, black velvet night
unlaced and cold in the fl!ckering light
warm hands fumble with the b*tton eyes
co*rs* and humble fingers untie
how did you find me, how did you know
with the blizzard blindin’ pilin’ up the snow?
shack on the edge of that borderline
a crackling fire of resinous pine
ponderosa, ponderosa and pinyon pine
