Wildfire (Live at Billy Bob's, Texas)

Technically, it's a country song, but it made a huge impact in the world of Classic Rock. Michael Martin Murphey doing his biggest hit, The lyrics of which are those of a homesteader telling the story of a young Nebraska woman said to have died searching for her escaped pony, "Wildfire", during a blizzard. The homesteader finds himself in a similar situation, doomed in an early winter storm. A hoot owl has perched outside of his window for six nights, and the homesteader believes the owl is a sign that the ghost of the young woman is calling for him. He hopes to join her (presumably in heaven) and spend eternity riding Wildfire with her, leaving the difficulties of earthly life behind.
