Boots in the dirt,
sky wide as a hymn
Got a map in my chest and a match in the wind
She keeps a tin star tucked in her coat A Bible verse
and a hand-me-down note Rides past the fence where the dry weeds
lean Sings to the horses,
keeps her knuckles clean
One eye on mercy,
one eye on the road
Carrying the names of the ones she
owed
Dust on her collar,
sun on her face
She walks like she knows she was born for this place
A little bit holy,
a little bit wild Fire in her step like a runaway child
When the night comes calling,
she stands and she says
Cowgirl, soldier, poet
Heart like a wheel and she rolls it Grace in her hands,
grit in her bones She can make a hard road feel like
home
Cowgirl, soldier, poet She don't break,
she bends and she holds it Sweet as a prayer,
tough as the weather She keeps us all together
She learned from the old men fixing the wire How to read
the clouds and bury a fire
From her mother she got that river-stone calm And a way of
turning trouble into a psalm
Now the town leans in when the cold wind starts She mends
the fences and she mends the hearts If the world gets mean
and the creek runs low She's the last one leaving,
first one to show
Not every hero comes dressed for a frame Some carry love and
never ask for a name
When the sky falls down,
she lifts her chin
And lets the morning in
Cowgirl, soldier, poet
Heart like a wheel and she rolls it
Grace in her hands,
grit in her bones She can make a hard road feel like
home
Cowgirl, soldier, poet She don't break,
she bends and she holds it Sweet as a prayer,
tough as the weather She keeps us all together
Cowgirl, soldier, poet
Mm, she keeps us all together
