My Friend Flag

Happy and free to be one with the wind
and not tied down to one spot ,
He sometimes gets to gallop around in the world ,
in a canter or even a trot

My friend flag he makes friends easily
and he’s popular with the passers by ,as they walk past the fence
well the old horse can sense ,
the difference in hello and goodbye .

One day he got out
and found freedom about
on the streets of a small country town ,
but a stranger to the danger
and even the council ranger
who was trying to tie old Flag down .

My friend flag he makes friends easily
and he’s popular with the passers by ,as they walk past the fence
well the old horse can sense ,
the difference in hello and goodbye .

I guess it’s in the breed of a runaway steed
to look for those far away fields
where the wheat is so sweet
and there’s always a treat
for horses like him between meals
and In the days up ahead there will always be bread
for friends with a hungry eye .

Now everything’s all right out there tonight
underneath the stars in the sky .
Mile after mile he was free for a while
til once again the reins roped him in .
Back to the yard where Flag’s got a tag
that’s attached to a bridle in the wind .

My friend flag he makes friends easily
and he’s popular with the passers by ,as they walk past the fence
well the old horse can sense ,
the difference in hello and goodbye .
