Palomino

I used to laugh most every night
Dance and drink, and love and fight
I used to have a lot to say
Then he up and walked away

And there I was, all alone
I couldn't stand our empty home
I packed my blanket and my tack
I knew that I'd never look back

Palomino, pal o' mine
You've been with me, rain or shine
Through the prairie and the pine
Every trail and timberline
Palomino, pal o' mine

I used to have a big bedroom
Now I sleep under the moon
Coyotes howling at the stars
Cowboy songs and old guitars

And I'm a lonesome drifting girl
In my tumbleweedy world
You're a quiet, steady soul
Your painted coat and eyes of gold

Palomino, pal o' mine
You've been with me, rain or shine
Through the pinion and the pine
Every trail and borderline
Palomino, pal o' mine

The trail is coming to an end
It's time to rest, my dear, old friend
I'll lay my boots and saddle down
We'll find a patch of peaceful ground

I'll put our tombstones side by side
For our last and longest ride
I'll take my six-gun from my vest
And watch the sunset in the west

Palomino, pal o' mine
You've been with me, rain or shine
Through the pinion and the pine
Every trail and borderline
Palomino, pal o' mine

You'll leave us traveling right behind
Outta road and outta time
Palomino, pal o' mine
