Lyrics:
Mary was married with children
Had the perfect suburban life
Til her husband came clean with the help of Jim Beam
And confessed all his sins in one night
Said he'd fallen in love with a barmaid
Said she made him feel reckless and young
And when he got through, what else could she do
She just let that pony run
You do what you gotta do
You know what you know
You hang on til you can't hang on
And then you learn to let go
You get what you want sometimes
But when it's all said and done
You do what you gotta do
And then you let that pony run
Mary moved to West Virginia
After the shock wore off
She got a divorce and a chestnut horse
And a barn with an old hayloft
And sometimes she rides by the river
Says it makes her feel reckless and young
She closes her eyes and she holds on tight
And she lets that pony run

This album got me through a really horrific divorce when I was only 21. Guess what? You helped me grow up quick in a MARVELOUS way...🐢💖🎀💥

[@duncan3998]

Was it back in 1993?

[@samydean213]

[@shawnduncan5779]

Even though this song is 30 years old it still sounds as good as it always has. It never lost its touch. Pam Tillis is really great

[@brandymull7137]

I could so relate to this song. My ex confessed his sins one night & life was never the same. These classic country songs got me through.

[@pointingdog7235]

In my case she didn't confess her sins I was just told that she made some decisions. I had to drag the word DIVORCE out of her. But I got the dogs and my Lawyer went so far as to name them in the divorce decree. So I got the Mustang I always wanted and "I let that pony run" fast forward to the present time I met a wonderful woman who I never would have met otherwise. Life only goes to shit if we are willing to let it happen. There's bad times in life, but the dogs or horses in our lives are always there for us. If you're lucky enough to have a great family to help you out like I did, you guessed it, life moves on.

[@piggy59873]

Been there Done that. Do what you gotta do! sometimes one minute at a time.

[@jayr178]

Worst thing you could do going through a divorce is listening to slow country songs. Lol

[@ladystrange7791]

@@jayr178 this was the only one I could. I had loved it as a teenager just for being a beautiful song...like most of her's were. Never had any idea back then how much it would mean to me down the road, but I think there's a legion of us that would love to thank her for it. Aside from this, I could listen to only classic rock or completely lose the lone shred of sanity I had left..so yes, I have to say I agree with you.

This is the first song that I ever remembered word for word all the way through. It's a comforting song and I love Pam Tillis.

[@shawnduncan5779]

This woman is really beautiful. That dark hair really makes her eyes stand out. Those blue eyes remind me of the ocean. The way she sings can really reach down inside of someone and reach to their heart. She sure has a beautiful voice too. She inherited her dad's talent and used her own talent to make herself stand out. She is definitely one of a kind. She is really great

[@eulatreloar2439]

Thats a sad song but its true😢

[@marinecorpswarrior915]

A reason I love and appreciate country music is because many of the songs give valuable life advice, "do what you gotta do, know what you know, hang on til you can't hang on, then let go...and when it's all said and done, just let that pony run." Best advice for knowing when to end bad relationships, to let go and to let that pony run!!

[@pointingdog7235]

I've been there myself my ex dumped me for a Man who is a Helicopter pilot and left me alone with the dogs. So I got a divorce and the lawyer went so far as to name the Dogs in the divorce decree. I've moved on I had a few rough years but the dogs and my family got me through the loss. I got a Mustang I always wanted and met a wonderful woman who I would've never met otherwise, so I'm sure glad I let THAT pony run.

[@marinecorpswarrior915]

@@pointingdog7235 Huckleberry, glad you had your family to help you get through the rough days, that you got the dogs and the mustang "pony" that you always wanted (hope its a 65/66) and that you found someone special to ride along side you. Like you, I'm glad I let that pony keep running cuz life got so much better and I've never looked back. Keep rolling and enjoying life.

Another one of my favorite country songs that came out during the late 1992-early 1993 period. This is one of Pam's very best, imo. I've always really loved this video and beautiful scenery, as well. Wish I was able to go back to this time.

[@cherylhafner]

Yes the songs like this take you back to that time of your life. Back to our younger days.The world was a better place back then.

[@MidnightVentures]

Probably her second biggest hit behind Maybe it Was Memphis. Many would say "Spilled Perfume" but i prefer this one. Other notable mentions: Shake The Sugar Tree, Deep Down, Blue Rose Is, My Vida Loca, Don't Tell Me What To Do, I've Seen Enough to Know, and Land of the Living. I'm 47 of Dec of 2022. This was my literal childhood and teen years. The harmony, the twang, the powerful voices of this era is gone as we knew it.

[@thebradc]

The first country album I ever bought. Pam Tillis is so talented. I remembered all the words.

[@ronoveson2798]

Saw you perform this last night at Arlington Music Hall and loved every minute. I first heard of you in 1993 and as far as I’m concerned you are the best female country vocalist in the USA. I saw you perform once in the 90’s at Treasure Island Casino in Minnesota, and you had #1 hits but here you were, playing a small room with about 300 folding chairs. My husband and I met in 1993 dancing to your songs at a little gay bar in St. Paul, Minnesota. He surprised me with the tickets. I still think he “hung the moon” to use your phrase. He surprised me again with tickets to last night’s show. Your beautiful voice is perfect accompaniment to our now nearly 30 years together. That’s why I was wiping away some tears of joy last night. Thank you, Pam. See you next year.

I discovered this song in the Anna Nicole Smith documentary on Netflix last night. Incredibly beautiful song, and it seems so perfectly descriptive of her life. The producers did not choose it; Anna chose it herself. It is playing in the limousine when she picks her father up at the airport and meets him for the first time (at age 24). God bless her (may she rest in peace) and may her daughter know an easier life than she did. 🙌❤

No wonder country music went downhill after the 90s. how could you top it? You can’t. Pam tillis still the best

[@GreenRiver72]

As a young lad this was never a favorite song of mine, but looking back it really presents the mood of early 90's country music. Emotionally frank with a tender undertone. And without question, musically polished. A forgotten gem - thank you Pam.

The best of the new revival of country music in the early 1990’s. I would definitely call it the real golden age of country music. The women were just as good as the men, maybe better. Just like the golden age of Hollywood. The best of times for sure. Pam was a big part of it.

[@PhillipHall01]

I took my youngest son and showed him where I use to condition my race horse in the Mississippi delta river bottom after a sad divorce as described in this song. I had four children to raise alone. I told him about the horse and how much he loved to run. All before I met his mom. I showed him where I would let him run from Church Road in the delta bottom by the old creek to the cotton gin by Walls. It made me think of this song that I liked, which came out after I started riding horses for the same reasons as “Mary” lol . Then I began thinking back. I have wondered about it honestly. My friend which I worked with at CaseIH; In-laws owned the house in Tunica. As going to the splash casino. The only casino at that time in Tunica. Pam Tillis came down and did a video at that house. The house is really unique. I always wondered if you Pam saw me riding down there in my part of the delta and my friend told you the situation? Who knows LOL anyway it wasn’t long after, this song came out and naturally, I loved it as I was already living it! Probably just a coincidence: but If this is the case, I would love to hear from you! 😊 Phillip Hall
