White Palomino Lyrics

He rode into town on a bright painted pony, tied up at the only saloon

Put a buck on the bar for a beer and a whiskey

When a girl caught his eye from the back of the room

'Twas a lovely young thing with dark hair curled in rings

And a song she was singing so sweet

From the depths of her soul, but no one was listening

So she hung down her head and went back on the street

And she mounted the saddle of a white palomino

And slowly did ride her away

As he watched her ride into a golden dusk sunset

He swore to himself that he'd find her some day

In the blink of an eye ten years had gone by

But he'd never forgotten her face

He rode all around to every small town

Day after day, searching place after place

On a cold winter's night in north Arizona

He rode past another saloon

Tied up at the post was a white palomino

And through a crack in the window he heard the same tuneGaither Drake - White Palomino - http://motolyrics.com/gaither-drake/white-palomino-lyrics.html

Got off of his pony and he went through the doorway

And gazed at her face in the light

And he knew in that moment his journey had ended

And he'd never again let her out of his sight

The years had been cruel to that lovely young lady

Her eyes had lost some of their shine

Her hair had gone silver, her waist had got thicker

But the cowboy still loved her and he didn't mind

Her song was still sweet and his life was complete

When he heard that girl sing it once more

He offered his hand and just like he'd planned

Picked up and carried her out of the door

On a bright painted pony and a white palomino

Two lovers rode into the night

And if you listen real careful as you pass the Grand Canyon

You can still hear her singing through the warm evening light

On a bright painted pony and a white palomino

Two lovers rode into the night
