Benny Lyrics

Verse 1:
Salt packin', mule-skinnin', son of the Sage
I'm tall in the saddle here beside you
But just a city boy from another day and age
Awestruck with wonder as we ride through
Sweetwater stories of Great Basin Buckaroos
I'm lost in the tales that you tell
Life is a dusty trail you wouldn't always choose
A little bit of heaven and a little bit of hell

Chorus:
Benny can you take me to the top of the world
The Eastern Sierras where the mountains and the sky
Come together forever like old friends in the wind
Benny can you take me there again
Verse 2:
Don't get your lead-rope caught beneath that horse's tail Don't rein him up hard if you do
This is the canyon I remember oh so well
When I was a wooly buckaroo

My Basquo Father was New Mexican clean through
He taught us horses all along
I love my Linda and my baby Bonnie too
Maybe you can put them in a song

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:
Benny I don't understand the changin' of the times
Why little boys get cancer why the Hell did mine
Benny I don't think I ever want to go back home
I wanna ride here with you til the river turns to stone

Final Chorus:
