Well JJ, "wishing well" is an expression anyone might use. It's certainly not unique to a song, and it's normal English. But "fortress strong"? We folks who speak English don't put the adjective after the noun very often (unlike in many (most?) foreign languages).
And Melissa, funny you mention Wildfire. I have always loved that song. Saw Michael Martin Murphy live a few years ago (he was on a show with Steve & Cindy, or I wouldn't have seen him). Turned out he is a great performer (except for his gratuitous remarks about not worrying about skin cancer). He did a great rendition of Marty Robbins' El Paso, another song I have always loved. He didn't do Pony Man, but he has recorded it, and he also recorded Tennessee Stud. So he's definitely a good guy in my book. He has a "America's Horses" CD which I have displayed somewhere near the top of my Lightfoot site home page. I listen to it often when I travel, and need a change from Lightfoot or Gillette.
