BUCKING HORSE MOON

TOM RUSSELL

CAPO III (to play with the cd)

G D Em

DOWN A ONE LANE ROAD, THERE’S A DUSTY FAIRGROUND

C G D G

WHERE I LEARNED THE BRONC TRADE, I FELL IN LOVE

G D Em

WITH A BLUE EYED TWISTER AND HER SMOKEY WHISPER

C G D G

SHE SAID THEY CALL ME THE CIMMARON DOVE

WE’D SPOOL OUR BEDROLLS ON DOWN TOGETHER

MY CALLOUSED HANDS COMBS THRU HER HAIR

SHE’D STARE AT A STAR THRU AN OLD MESQUITE TREE

“SEE THAT MOON SHADOW, THERE’S A BUCKING HORSE THERE”

CHORUS

G Am7 G

SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH, NO EASY KEEPER

G Am7 D

FLOWN WITH THE SEASONS, ALL TOO SOON

C G

BENEATH MONTANA’S BLUE ROAN SKY,

G Am C G

NEVADA’S STARLIGHT AND A BUCKING HORSE MOON

OUR LOVE REELED OUT LIKE A WESTERN MOVIE

DOWN HARD WORN HIGHWAYS, THRU THE RODEO TOWNS

WRAPPED IN HER WINGS, FOR THE MIDNIGHT FLYING

THAT BUCKING HORSE MOON KEPT SHINING DOWN

BUCKING HORSE MOON ON THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK

SHE’D SMILE AND SAY “THAT MEANS GOOD LUCK”

BUCKING HORSE SHADOW, THRU THE PURPLE SAGE

WE’LL RIDE FOREVER, OUR LOVE WON’T AGE

BUT HEART AND BONES ARE MAKE FOR BREAKING

THE CIMMARON DOVE’S FLOWN WITH THE WIND

THEN A BRONC IN PRESCOTT, ROLLED ON MY BACK

I’LL NEVER RIDE ROUGH STOCK AGAIN

CHORUS

I LOST MY YOUTH ON THE DUSTY FAIRGROUNDS

I’M AN OLD BRONC FIGHTER, LONG PAST HIGH NOON

BUT ON A HAUNTED NIGHT WIND, I CAN HEAR HER WHISPERIN

AS I SEARCH THE HEAVENS, FOR THE BUCKING HORSE MOON

THE CIMMARON DOVE AND THE BUCKING HORSE MOON

CHORUS

WYOMING SUNDOWN AND A BUCKING HORSE MOON.
