Like the broad sky he’s under
His beauty is a wonder of creation.
In the land of the free
He’s a page in history
His forebears helped us build this great nation.
Charged bravely into battle
While Old Glory waived on high he was there.
The Marshal or the Outlaw
His master was whoever called
Who needs him now does anybody care?
Hear his silent cry for help just let him be,
He should live and let my children see
A Wild Mustang running free
’Cross mountains an the open plains
His strong back helped to make this country great.
When they were through abandoned him
Now kill him for his flesh and skin
One so brave deserves a better fate.
Hear his silent cry for help just let him be,
He should live and let my children see
A Wild Mustang running free
A shot rings out clear and loud
A bullet tears deep into his side.
There’s no one there to shed a tear
Because there’s no one there to hear
His cry for help as he lays down to die.
Hear his silent cry for help just let him be,
He should live and let my children see
A Wild Mustang running free
Wrecked beyond all hope
So I knew when I stayed out two days
I was pushing the envelope.
I was thinking as I turned my key
She didn’t change the lock
But when I opened up the door
I got quite a shock.
She took it all,
There were some hangers in a closet
And some nails up in the hall.
She left me a phone book
But there was no phone to call
Apart from that and an old door mat
There was nothing wall to wall.
Didn’t think she’d go this far,
I had my old pick-up truck
But she took off with the car.
Where our Lincoln Continental stood
There was a little brown oil patch,
Looks like she’s startin’ over
While I’m startin’ out from scratch.
She took it all,
There were some hangers in a closet
And some nails up in the hall.
She left me a phone book
But there was no phone to call
Apart from that and an old door mat
There was nothing wall to wall.
I think I showed restraint,
With the house in this condition
It would be a good time to paint.
She took it all,
There were some hangers in a closet
And some nails up in the hall.
She left me a phone book
But there was no phone to call
Apart from that and an old door mat
There was nothing wall to wall.
And left me nothing wall to wall.
A little baby new to the world
A love without end began way back then
Between a daddy and his little girl.
I remember the time I left you
And you were only ten years old
How you clung to me as we said our good-byes
Your tears like a knife turned in my soul.
There’s one that cuts me deep inside.
And will always bring me down to my knees
When I hear my little girl cry.
We’ve been there for each other through the years,
Marriages ended, lovers passed on by
We shared the good times and the tears.
The miles that are between us
Disappear with a telephone call
But if I hear you cry and I’m not there to hold you
It’s the toughest call of them all
There’s one that cuts me deep inside.
And will always bring me down to my knees
When I hear my little girl cry.
I can say I will love until the end,
But I would give anything if I could create
A world in which you’d never cry again.
There’s one that cuts me deep inside.
And will always bring me down to my knees
When I hear my little girl cry.
