mono - brenn hill lyrics

mono was the smallest of the foals that year don’t know how he stayed alive
early spring blizzards kept the snow deep here yet somehow he survived
we had to separate him from the broodmare herd
he would’ve starved to death out on that lower third
and he was thin boned and pigeon toed but gentle in his eyes
and somehow he survived
i started mono in the spring of 95 i was seventeen and he was two
i’d work him from the ground and then i’d steal a ride he was learnin’ i was too
he bucked me off in the round pen once or twice
stepped on my hand once and we fell down on the ice
but he started growin’ and his feet got straight and true
he was learnin’ i was too

we gathered cattle for the bar b in the fall i rode him hard every day
through shale rock canyons he gave his all and just got better in every way
he’d pin back his ears and bite an ornery cow
he was ready next mornin’ to go again somehow
and by the time the winter came i can honestly say
we were one in every way

i started college that semester in the spring little mono stayed at home
i rode mono every night in my dreams while he waited all alone
i came home and branded cattle for my dad
little mono gave me everything he had
when i went back to school again it hurt me to the bone
little mono stayed home

i met a girl that year and we fell in love and got married in the fall
goin’ to school and workin’ there was never time to ride little mono at all
i sold him to a cowboy on the all
heard mono slipped and broke his neck when they fell
and now every time i saddle up a horse i can recall
how little mono gave his all

i am a father now and life is hard and fast chasin’ children and their dreams
this world is changin’ and i long for the past and a simpler life or so it seems
i think of ridin’ girtsen canyon in the fall
i think of little mono and how he gave his all
and i can’t find the words to say how much that memory means
but i still ride him in my dreams
