Over the years - I mean, decades - I've played pretty much every style of music that could come under the umbrella of rock, but that's really quite limiting as

I am an army of one. The problem with being in bands, is bandmates. They conflict with my despair for humanity.

Story behind the song

Back in 1989, I went shopping for a new car. I was trolling the lot at Framingham Ford, and walked past this red Ford Escort which happened to be the "Pony" stripper model...now, when I was a kid, in the interests of broadning my litereary education, my parent s had given me a copy of the John Steinbeck novel "The Red Pony" in whcih the birth of said titular Red Pony was pretty fucking gory, and the memory has lived with me to this day.

That day, in that car dealership lot, I was compelled to buy that particular, vehicular "Red Pony". 

I subsequently proceeded to beat the living shit out of that car for about 100,000 miles,  commiting all sorts of hooliganism, almost flipping it on an exit ramp and totally pissing off some poser in a porsche 911.

Lyrics

There's plenty of cars 
that make mine seem real slow
There's plenty of cars
that sure got alot more GO
She don't ask for much
I aint' gonna fix her
though she rolls down the road
shaking like a paint mixer
suits me fine
sing her song as I go

Ride the red pony
Ride the red pony
Ride the red pony
In front of me, don't slow me down

Some times I push to hard, 
she takes it right in stride
she don't care 
if it's front or tail I slide
Got no excuse for hittin' the bottle
I just straight myself out
with some mid-corner throttle

suits me fine
sing her song as I go

Ride the red pony
Ride the red pony
Ride the red pony
In front of me, don't slow me down

Some days I wake up
I'm all dissatisfied
Just want to 
get into that pony and ride
see that brown 911
gona give him a trauma
with the early '90s version 
of the late '60s bomber

suits me fine
sing her song as I go

Ride the red pony
Ride the red pony
Ride the red pony
In front of me, don't slow me down
Ride the red pony
Ride the red pony
Ride the red pony
In front of me, don't slow me down
In front of me, don't slow me down
