Golden Pony Lyrics

I was broken in when I was young

To a town of fame, plastic and party drugs

Staring at the carousel all along

Wondering when I'd be tall enough to get on

To get on

Five dollars for a five minute ride

Is it really worth that much to get high?

It's never gonna be like the first time

You go round

Keep on riding that

Golden pony for as long as you can

Be the one and only cowboy left standing

When you're riding that

Golden pony

It gets pretty lonely

But you'll be treated like you're holy

In this land

So keep on riding till you can't

Till you can't

There was this one girl who wouldn't get off

She spun so fast till she dropped

The ride makes you feel like you're going somewhere

You're just spinning in circles through the air

Through the air

Five dollars for a five minute ride

Some people they wait in line all their lives

Most folks get bucked right off of the horse

The lights keep shining till the music warps

(Whoa!)

Keep on riding that

Golden pony for as long as you can (for as long as you can)

Be the one and only cowboy left standing

When you're riding that

Golden pony

It gets pretty lonely (so goddamn lonely)

But you'll be treated like you're holy

In this land

So keep on riding till you can't

Till you can't
