The Colt That Carried Us

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some friendships start with a handshake, Some start with a leap and a prayer, Ours began with a Kemosabi colt And a broken leg God mended there. Cartoon Classic started our legacy, And the best thing he gave me was you. [Chorus] Oh Marla, you're one of a kind, With a heart so gentle and true, You loved me without condition, And I'm so lucky to have you. We both love a good eagle in the stride of a horse, And I love every mile with you. [Verse 2] We flew a horse on a plane to France, And we flew one to Denmark too, Two circling sharks in a foreign town, 'Cause neither could read the map through. One time we could not pronounce tarantula so we called it "Tear-n-Tula" Still makes me laugh the whole night through. [Chorus] Oh Marla, you're one of a kind, With a heart so gentle and true, You loved me without condition, And I'm so lucky to have you. We both love a good eagle in the stride of a horse, And I love every mile with you. [Bridge] Monument Valley, horse show lights, National champions we raised side by side, Hauling trailers coast to coast, You were the strength along for the ride. [Verse 3] Now a country lies between our porches, But your kindness still finds its way, When I needed someone in my corner, You stood by me every day. Your strength and your dedication Taught me how to persevere. [Chorus] Oh Marla, you're one of a kind, So generous, gentle and true, You loved me without condition, And I'm so lucky to have you. We both love a good eagle in the stride of a horse, And I'll love every mile with you. [Outro] Here's to the legacy we started, One colt, two hearts, and a friend like you.
