A
He was the fastest horse anyone had seen,
D A
he was a Sorrel pony he was tall and lean.
D
He'd meet every challenge if they think they must,
A E A
he'd leave 'em breathin' heavy in a cloud of dust.
It was just about dark on a Friday night,
D A
not a cloud in the sky and the moon was bright.

We were bound to do somethin' that had never been done,
A E A
Make it all the way to Danville on an overnight run.

Big Jim Grayson was a man of means,
D A
he had more money than a poor boy's dreams.
D
He said here's five hundred dollars cause I know I'm right,
A E A
you'll never make Danville by the mornin' light.
Well the watch from my pocket say's it's half past four.
D A
Give up the rein and he begs for more.
D
With a whole lot of heart and a little luck,
A E A
We'll be drinking from the Dan' when the sun comes up.
