"From" Helped me to find this masterpiece..... All thanks to Sherif ❤

From "From(tv series)" to straight down here. Heard so much 80's ballads before. Never heard of this underrated masterpiece. Man! This is actually an underrated one!❤

Is anyone else here because of Epix' series From?

Many years ago, I heard a live cover of this song by a bluegrass band who's name I cant recall. They told a story about the song.... Lyle Lovett was talking to a little boy, and asked him, "If you could have anything in the world, what would you want?" The boy answered, "A boat. And a pony." That was the inspiration for the song. It captures the beauty and innocence and humor of childhood. It's one of the most perfect songs ever written.

"Kiss my ass I bought a boat I'm going out to sea" - my favorite line ever!!!!

I used to sing this song as a lullaby to both my kids when they were little. Which means I probably sang it twice a day for at least 4 years. That's what? Close to 3000 times? Still not tired of it.

“From” has been so good, it’ll only get more attention as the show goes on🤝🏽

One of the greatest and most underrated and underappreciated artists of his generation. A true talent through & through.

I can proudly admit that while I am a metalhead at heart - I grew up listening to Lyle Lovett. I've seen him live more than ALL the metal bands I've seen live. Lyle Lovett is one of my guilty pleasures.

"I just got my sign." - Boyd.

"Now that mystery masked man was smart, He got himself a Tanto, 'cause Tanto did the dirty work for free. Now Tanto, he was smarter and one day said Kemosabe, Kiss my ass I bought a boat I'm going out to sea" I hear both my Mom and Daddy laughing with that one. So many great images with the song and so many wonderful memories 💙💜❤

And if I had a boat I'd go out on the ocean And if I had a pony I'd ride him on my boat And we could all together Go out on the ocean I said me upon my pony on my boat If I were Roy Rogers I'd sure enough be single I couldn't bring myself to marrying an old Dale Well, it'd just be me and Trigger We'd go riding through them movies Then we'd buy a boat and on the sea we'd sail And if I had a boat I'd go out on the ocean And if I had a pony I'd ride him on my boat And we could all together Go out on the ocean I said me upon my pony on my boat The mystery masked man was smart He got himself a Tonto 'Cause Tonto did the dirty work for free But Tonto he was smarter And one day said kemo sabe Well, kiss my ass, I bought a boat I'm going out to sea And if I had a boat I'd go out on the ocean And if I had a pony I'd ride him on my boat And we could all together Go out on the ocean I said me upon my pony on my boat And if I were like lightning I wouldn't need no sneakers I'd come and go wherever I would please And I'd scare 'em by the shade tree And I'd scare 'em by the light pole But I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea And if I had a boat I'd go out on the ocean And if I had a pony I'd ride him on my boat And we could all together Go out on the ocean I said me upon my pony on my boat I said me upon my pony on my boat

I don’t know why I love this song…but I love this song.❤

Straight after listening this gem in series "from"

Thank you FROM (Tv show, 2022) for bringing me here.

(The TV show 'From' brought me here...in all of my 40 years never heard this song before!...its a Beautiful song!...its on constant repeat at the moment! ...he said 🎵"kiss my ass i bought a boat...im going out to sea"🎵...lol ...i love it!❤

Thanks to the series "From", for bringing me here. This is a gem!

My mother used to say " Boy, if you can't enjoy this music, you need help"

If someone ever came up to me and said "I want to remember what it was like to be a child again but I can't". I think I'd start with this song.

I thought I was the only one FROM brought here. I guess the show is the best that could be. Actors just on point

Lyle's music is beyond country...it's almost a genre unto itself. I saw this guy on the Joshua Judges Ruth tour and it's still one of the most moving concerts I have ever seen. When he did " She's Already Made Up Her Mind " you could have heard a pin drop. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Lost my brother (my best friend) to asthma 3 months back. He loved this song and sang along whenever he heard it. I will think of him now, on his pony on his boat, forever.

Not sure anyone else will ever fully feel what this song means to me. Damn... Maybe not even Lyle himself. I didn't know my mother much. She left me with my dad when I was a baby. But one of the few memories I have of her was going to see her in her apartment when I was 8 or 9 and she played this album and I jumped on the bed laughing and trying to get the record to skip. This song is literally the sound of nostalgia in my head.

Just damned perfect. God bless you Lyle. I could listen to this for hour after hour after hour.

the most coolest underrated singer songwriter out there today.

Just a reminder of my father , such a wonderful song

When I was in 5th grade my teacher would play this song for the class he would bring a guitar to class play this song and sing it 5th grade was the best year of school I’ve ever had I met my best friends in that year 5th grade was the best because my teacher was really nice he would help everybody with problems we had in school he was the best reach I could have ever wished for this makes me remember everything that happened that year it was very hard for me on the last day of school but November 11th the day before my aunts wedding I was going to get my haircut I saw him asking for any kind of donations for homeless he mainly just wanted to give to homeless shelters so he was asking for food donations my dad went into big y got 5boxes of pasta and 2 big jars of raos tomatoe sausce my teacher was very thankful I was in 6th grade that day it was nice seeing him again I wish I could talk to him again but this song makes me remember about the school year of my life

Who else came here after watching From? ❤️🙌

Country music has the feels of loneliness, peacefulness, and life without stress and relaxing while sitting on the balcony of a house in a town and also nostalgic.

What an awesome song. Thanks, Lyle. Should have a billion views.

I immediately Shazam the hail out of this song and it led me here. I can rest now lol 😂 thanks epix

First time to hear this song and just the way he sings and the melody evokes a lot of emotion in me. I teared up. When you read the lyrics, they are fun and seem silly, but the singing itself gets me.

"From" brought me here. Interesting series.

Lyle’s music - next level, timeless & pure in a nonsensical world. Exquisite❤

Played this for my 20 year old niece recently, she loved it.

When I was little I had a pony (well horse lol) and we had a boat and I used to ask my dad, can we put my pony on the boat? I made my dad listen to this on repeat for a very long time. Lol. Born a Lyle Lovett lover!

This song is so innocent and whimsical it makes me want to cry.

The favorite song i had with my father. I remember riding around with him singing this song at the top of our lungs!! Thanks for the memories!!

I swear these are possibly the GREATEST song lyrics ever. Nothing but a superb imagination allied to a fantastic lyrical ability attached to a brilliant musical talent could have conceived it. Greatest ever? Definitely top 10 in the history of the universe. So far...

The TV show From brought me here... Awesome song!

You guys are all legend 'from' has brought us to this banger

I was vaguely familiar with this song in the 80's. In about '94, I was at a concert by the great Nova Scotia Celtic- folk band The Rankin Family. As the crowd slowly left the hall, this guitar picking came over the speakers, and I KNEW who it was before a word was sung. I went out the next day, bought "Lyle Lovett," "Pontiac," and "Joshua Judges Ruth."I became such a fan, and travelled from eastern Canada to Portland, Maine in 2004 to catch his show. I've seen U2, Willie Nelson, John Prine, Don McLean and The nitty Gritty Dirt Band live, but somehow they don't quite stack up as high.

I heard this song just yesterday from the movie series FROM...I felt in love with it immediately I hrd it..Much live from Ghana Africa

"I would not scare my pony on my boat out on the sea......" You have to have great admiration for a song writer like Lyle Lovette. Absolutely adore his music, what a genius! {Genius-exceptional intellectual creative natural ability} {Genius-A man known as Lyle Lovette}

Lyle has a very unique sound, with such control. I hate most country music! I never get sick of this song!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe I'd never heard this BRILLIANTLY EPIC song before today!

I've loved this song for years...my HS boyfriend put it on a mixtape for me❤❤

I heard this song in 2007 at my very first Bluegrass Jam.... I had no idea what I was in for!!! Top o' the Mountain 🎵🎶🎵

My absolute favorite Lyle Lovett song. Saw him last night in Springfield, Missouri. As always, the Large Band and Lyle brought the crowd to their feet many times.

My dad and I listened to this album on a road trip from southern California to Nevada. This song takes me back every time.

The last lines of every stanza are some of my favorite lines in any song ever... "would not scare my pony on my boat out the sea"" kiss my ass I bought a boat and I'm going out to sea" I literally get teary eyed

How could you not love ban the man it's such a positive wonderful thing I'm so glad that he is part of this morning thank you man. The man. Lots of smiles thank you so much

'From' brought me here, better late than never ✌

The depth of the lyrics in this song is amazing . As close to perfect as it gets. Simply great.

Love that slide 🛝 🎸

After watching FROM

Emotions come up listening this song. Thank you , lyle for this great song and Guitar playing.

Got here from a TV show called " from " , hell of a song I love it love it love it ❤

OMG Finally found this.. The Interpreter movie bought me here. Lovely song, thanks ❤️

I heard this on the tv series From...I love this song and had no idea at all that Lyle Lovett sang it. A truly great song.

I had never never heard this song before. It s 2023 and I am just now finding it. WOW where have I been? It is beautiful! Found it while watching a Julianna Moore movie called “Still Alice”. 3 seconds of the song and I m hooked and it fit the scene in the movie perfectly….

There was a moment in the late 80's, early 90's - I'm too old to remember now - when popular country artists seemed to be getting back to real country music. Lyle Lovett, Dwight Yoakam, the Mavericks. I really like that. Pontiac is still one of the best records I've ever heard.

I was lucky enough to catch Lyle and his large band when I was about 13 or so I think, Red Rocks Colorado. Such a great show. I love this dude's music Still

The show From brought me here. What a great tune.

my dad used to listen to lyle, thankfully "Still Alice" brought me back, great memories, great movie, great song and the cover by karen elson is beautiful (perfect ending to that movie)

My favorite Lyle Lovett song is the one I happen to be listening to at that moment.

Lyle Lovett has been a favorite for decades. Love his original creativity...and his is such a gentleman each appearance. Taped a TV program years ago about his coming home to Austin. Someone "took" it...and it was never offered as a CD. It was superb with a large orchestra of musicians. Thanks, Lyle Lovett for being you. bitsy

More people should watch From.

Lord I love Luke Lovett's music. We needed him to come along when he did

I had a best friend once named, Timothy Bryant, that use to sing this song while playing it on his acoustic guitar, he sings it even better than this original .Or maybe my love for him made it sound better to me anyway. I still have a copy of him performing this song, I listen to it probably once every 2 or 3 years, but when ever I do, my eyes fill up with tears.😪 I miss you my friend. 💙

When I started in radio way back in October of '88, this is the first song I ever played. Good memories.

❤ this song

I actually met him years ago at the dirt bike races and hes such a good guy

Saw this guy (along with Robert Earl Keen) last night at Gruene Hall in Texas! Amazing concert!

Beautiful song, beauty of a Man ❤

Yes the show FROM is where I heard this song from and I’m grateful I heard this tonight on the episode tonight this song is beautiful

Hands up if The TV show "from" brought you here.... Awesome

Boyd loves this song.

He began playing this song in 2011 at a concert in Houston and I was mesmerized, as it is one of my favorite songs he does. Just an excellent entertainer. The whole band is as sharp as a Rolex watch........... well worth seeing in person.

only lyle could write a hit song about riding a pony on a boat

Brilliant!!! Thanks Mr. Lovett for this jewel of composing! What a "wunderbar" song!! Love it! Also very good the cover from "Still Alice" by Karen Elson! Greetings from Germany, B.L.

My favorite song by Lyle. Especially the part about what Tonto says. Go Tonto.

I really like this song.

Ah. One of my favourites. Really touches the soul. Thank you my Texan cousin 👍♥️✝️🇬🇧

1st time I'd heard this. From.

Have loved Lyle Lovett since early 90's. Husband and I danced to "She's No Lady" at our 1992 wedding. Met Lyle shortly after, gracious and funny. Also love he is a true horseman! #SmartandShiney

I love him...

This song is fuel for my soul

Sheriff Boyde and his "sign" brought me here

The show FROM brought me here

From the TV Show brought me here❤😊

Saw him in Vegas with Bonnie Raitt, great concert 😊

From - 2022

Who hasn't had times where you wanted to tell people, "You can kiss my ass, I bought a boat I'm going out to sea!"

I sing this to my kids every night. For the last 8 years, its a bed time staple.

Lovely melody, marvelous lyrics! Tomorrow I’ll let my students listen this art in English Lesson..

Oh yeah... play this one at my funeral...

Really great song. Nice imagery. Takes your mind on beautiful trip for 3 minutes.

Love the part with the Lone Ranger and Tonto! Nice to hear a fun whimsical song, especially these days.

Lyle's music is part of a genre all it's own. It's not over commercialized and sort of lurks in the background, behind the scenes and us so powerful, always telling a story with extremely talented musicians who are also great poets. Lyle has more albums abd songs with such great variety that I could ever have imagined. So gifted. The genre includes others you may also enjoy,: Aimee Mann especially I'M John Hiatt If course, the timeless: James Taylor Kris Kristofferson Bob Dylan I'm highlighting the solo-oriented acts here and not those writers part of the larger, higher profiles Bands,
