[Intro]
[Verse 1]

On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire

In a blizzard, she was lost
[Chorus]
She ran calling Wildfire
Calling Wildfire

'Bout six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go
[Chorus]
We'll be ridin' Wildfire
Ridin' Wildfire
Ridin' Wildfire
On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get the hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire
{Outro}
