Brenn Hill - Benny Lyrics

Verse 1:Salt packin', mule-skinnin', son of the SageI'm tall in the saddle here beside youBut just a city boy from another day and ageAwestruck with wonder as we ride throughSweetwater stories of Great Basin BuckaroosI'm lost in the tales that you tellLife is a dusty trail you wouldn't always chooseA little bit of heaven and a little bit of hellChorus:Benny can you take me to the top of the worldThe Eastern Sierras where the mountains and the skyCome together forever like old friends in the windBenny can you take me there againVerse 2:Don't get your lead-rope caught beneath that horse's tailDon't rein him up hard if you doThis is the canyon I remember oh so wellWhen I was a wooly buckarooMy Basquo Father was New Mexican clean throughHe taught us horses all alongI love my Linda and my baby Bonnie tooMaybe you can put them in a songRepeat Chorus:Bridge:Benny I don't understand the changin' of the timesWhy little boys get cancer why the Hell did mineBenny I don't think I ever want to go back homeI wanna ride here with you til the river turns to stoneFinal Chorus:
