lyrics
Up and Away (Strawberry Roan)
You've got your saddle shoes
Worn ebony and bone
Weathered old hand-me-downs
Up on your strawberry roan
And she's good enough
To carry you up and away
You've got his necklace on
It's setting your heart aglow
You're ready for anything
All ready for him to show
And he's good enough
To carry you up and away
Laughingly he will appear
Carelessly and cavalier
O, he's not coming home to stay
Quickly fades the lovers' tryst
With a callous little kiss
He rides off upon his dapple grey
You've got your jilted soul
Patently taciturn
He's got a lock of your hair
Ribboned with dark auburn
And that's good enough
To carry him up and away
So, get you to Wichita
Or maybe to Abilene
Watch all your silver turn
Into tarnished argentine
But you've got your saddle shoes
Worn ebony and bone
Weathered old hand-me-downs
Up on your strawberry roan
And that's good enough
To carry you up and away
