[00:00.76]Lyrics by：LEVY/JACQUES MC GUINN/ROGER
[00:01.08]Composed by：LEVY/JACQUES MC GUINN/ROGER
[00:09.29]Always alone never with a herd
[00:17.00]Prettiest mare I've ever seen
[00:20.28]You'll have to take my word
[00:24.37]I'm goin' to catch that horse if I can
[00:31.41]And when I do I'll give her my brand
[00:39.05]Well I was up on Stony Ridge after this chestnut mare
[00:45.65]I'd been chasin' her for weeks
[00:48.96]Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
[00:52.48]Takin' her meal or bathin
[00:55.21]A fine lady
[00:59.38]This one day I happened to be real close to her
[01:01.16]I saw her standin' over there
[01:05.35]So I snuck up on her nice and easy
[01:08.82]Got my rope out
[01:09.54]And I flung it in the air
[01:11.87]I'm goin' to catch that horse if I can
[01:18.47]And when I do I'll give her my brand
[01:25.11]And we'll be friends for life
[01:28.20]She'll be just like a wife
[01:31.42]I'm goin' to catch that horse if I can
[01:38.91]Well I got her and I'm pullin' on her
[01:42.36]And she's pullin' back like this mule goin' up a ladder
[01:46.96]And I take a crazy choice and
[01:48.90]I jump right up on her
[01:50.23]Damned if I don't land right on top of her
[01:52.27]And she takes off runnin' up on to the ridge
[01:56.95]Higher than I've ever been before
[02:00.38]She's runnin' along just fine 'til she stops
[02:03.23]And something spooked her
[02:03.87]It's a sidewinder all coiled and ready to strike
[02:07.91]She doesn't know what to do for a second
[02:09.67]Me holdin' on
[02:11.00]Above the hills
[02:13.32]Higher than eagles we're gliding
[02:17.31]Suspended in the sky
[02:23.55]Over the moon
[02:26.20]Straight for the sun we were riding
[02:30.25]My eyes were filled with light
[02:36.32]Behind us black walls
[02:39.31]Below us a bottomless canyon
[02:44.41]Floating with no sound
[02:50.04]Gulls far below
[02:52.79]Seemed to be suddenly rising
[02:57.20]Exploding all around
[03:04.84]I'm goin' to catch that horse if I can
[03:11.66]And when I do I'll give her my brand
[03:18.49]And we'll be friends for life
[03:21.87]She'll be just like a wife
[03:25.26]I'm goin' to catch that horse if I can
[03:31.94]And we were fallin' down this crevice
[03:35.53]'Bout a mile down I'd say
[03:39.25]I look down and I see this red thing below us
[03:42.63]And it's our reflection in this little pool of water
[03:45.35]About six feet wide and one foot deep
[03:49.19]And we're crawlin' down right through it
[03:52.67]We hit and we splashed it dry
[03:56.20]That's when I lost my hold and she got away
[03:59.71]But she wild
[04:02.00]But I'm gonna try to get her again some day
[04:05.61]I'm goin' to catch that horse if I can
[04:10.48]Oh yes I will
[04:12.35]And when I do I'll give her my brand
[04:18.96]And we'll be friends for life
[04:22.23]She'll be just like a wife
[04:25.51]I'm goin' to catch that horse
[04:28.85]I'm goin' to catch that horse
[04:32.16]I'm goin' to catch that horse if I can
[04:38.90]I'm goin' to catch that horse if I can
