Song Description
Cosmic Chestut Mare is written in first person and is about the reality and fantasy of life. The verses deal with the aspect of looking at the bad breaks that life has dealt the singer. Then in the chorus a nicely woven fantasy about unreachable dreams comes into play which oddly makes everything seem OK!..:-) A genuine happy and cheerful feeling is all that you can walk away from after listening to Cosmic Chestnut Mare!

Lyrics
Cosmic Chestnut Mare

I was born in a shack. Daddy left he never came back.
Mama raised me on her own, it's no surprise that I'm a rolling stone.
I'm a loner to myself. Drink and smoke and I don't mind my health.
Friday nights not much to do so I get high just thinking of you.
But if I had a Cosmic Chestnut Mare
I would ride away without a care.
I'd ride to Venus, ride to Mars.
I'd get a suntan from all the stars.
Then I'd disappear without a trace.
And I would hit every bar in outer space
Listen to Bonnie sing the blues.
Lord she knows about these holes in my shoes.
I feel ragged at the seams.
Can't seem to find my lost and misplaced dreams.
I work all day to earn my pay.
I stay out late until the break of day.
Had a woman, now she's gone.
That's ok I'll saddle up alone.
But if I had a Cosmic Chestnut Mare
I would ride away without a care.
I'd ride to Venus, ride to Mars.
I'd get a suntan from all the stars.
Then I'd disappear without a trace.
And I would hit every bar in outer space
But now and then when life is great
I don't even think that I would hesitate
To mount that bronc and ride away
Into the sunlight of a brighter day.
But if I had a Cosmic Chestnut Mare
I would ride away without a care.
I'd ride to Venus, ride to Mars.
I'd get a suntan from all the stars.
Then I'd disappear without a trace.
And I would hit every bar in outer space
But if I had a Cosmic Chestnut Mare
I would ride away without a care.
Can't think of one place I would stay
I would just gallop all around the Milky Way.
Then I'd disappear without a trace.
And I would hit every bar in outer space.
