Willie Nelson - A Horse Called Music Lyrics






High on a mountain in western Montana
A silhouette moves 'cross a cinnamon sky
Riding alone on a horse he called Music
With a song on his lips, and a tear in his eye

And he dreams of a time, and a lady that loved him
And how he would sing her sweet lullabies
But we don't ever ask him
And he never talks about her
I guess it's better to just let it slide

But he sang "ooh" to the ladies
And ooh, he made some sigh
Now he rides away on a horse he called Music
With a pain in his heart and a tear in his eye

He rode the Music from Boston to Bozeman
For not too much money, but way too much ride
But those were the days when a horse he called Music
Could jump through the moon and sail across the sky

Now all that's left is a time worn old cowboy
With nothin' more than the sweet by-and-by
And trailing along, is a horse with no rider
A horse he called memories, that she used to ride

And he sang "ooh" to the ladies
And ooh, he made 'em damn near lay down and die
Now he rides away on a horse he called Music
With a pain in his heart and a tear in his eyes

High on a mountain in western Montana
Two crosses cut, through a cinnamon sky
Marking the place where a horse he called Music
Lays with a cowboy in the sweet by-and-by...

    Willie is a very special man who has done a lot of good. God works through Willie and his dedication to both mankind and God’s creatures, i.e, horses, etc. God bless him with many more healthy years ahead of him. We’re all better for knowing him.

  46. A.... I....

    As a small time cowboy I bought a horse just so I could name it music. I look for years for this album and found it years ago. It has a real meaning to me

  47. C.... W....

    People were so innocent and naive back in the fifties and sixties and you could take a man at his word then I don't know what's the matter with people now. Too bad

  48. B.... H....

    Does Willie's creativity, sensitivity, and love of humanity and nature ever cease? I hope it endures forever!

  49. S.... L....

    Horses are beautiful smart and loving animals

  50. M.... Y....

  52. M.... S....

    Cowboy sunglasses? Nice hat.

  53. F.... B....

    I’m glad we get to soak in the beautiful music as he lives on cause one day we will only have horror. Music like pop and so and the so called country music sung by like Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton god bless you wills

    F.... B....

    Sorry 😐 I mean wille

    Makes me think about the summer of ‘16, when I was deeply in love and drove a hour on my old ‘60’s moped to see her wave behind her bedroom window and man, I was in love, now the only thing left is that moped in the barn, sitting, waiting to be rebuild and going on trips again
