Lyrics

Ponytail

What's your name?

What's your name?

Mustang...

Mustang, Mustang, I feel me rusting

Been too long, no bronco busting

Mustang, Mustang, heed my call

Been too long in my bay bed stall

Gone lame...

Mustang...

Mustang...

Hey there now, what is this?

Got a sugar cube on my finger tips

Press it gently to your lips

Feel your hesitant nip

Wild tame...

Wild tame...

Mustang...

Mustang, mustang, tell me something:

How do you get my heart pumping?

Just trot by, doing nothing

Thump-thump-thump, thump-thump-thump thumping

One thin dime is all I need

To buy mustang a bag of seed

Gonna call her up till my fingers bleed

A lonely bull makes a handsome steed

Free range...

Free range...

Mustang...

Mustang...

Mustang...

Mustang...

Mustang...

Mustang...
