Lyrics
UPTOWN PONY
Craig Moreau
She's an uptown pony, takes money to ride
She runs you up and down, never side to side
You'll run outta money before she runs outta time
Man I really need to make that pony mine
My mamma always told me they ain't worth the fare
If ya do it once you'll do it till your pockets are bare
Then you take to thinkin' that that pony cares
When you run outta money she won't even know you're there
(Chorus)
That cold little horse will drive straight outta your mind
The harder you ride her the more that pony shines
She has a pretty little tail and her cheeks are Rosie red
And takes a lot of quarters to keep that pony fed
Once she starts a rockin' you can't get her outta your head
She's an uptown pony remember what your mamma said
(Chorus)
That cold little horse will drive straight outta your mind
The harder you ride her the more that pony shines
Like an uptown pony hanging out in front of the store
Looking real pretty but cold and hard straight to the core
She got the last of your money and she don't wanna play no more
It's an uptown pony that will leave ya feeling saddle sore
