Rustler’s Lullaby

(whoo!) Woke up before the sun hit the cedar line

Pulling on my faded boots and my lucky dime

Saddle up the chestnut mare down by the creek

Dusty trail waiting for the secrets that we keep

I don't need no paved road to find my way

Got the reins held loose in a steady hand

Blowing tumbleweeds across this red-dirt land

Born to run with the wind and the summer rain

Writing out my story across the open plain No barbed wire fence

gonna hold this heart down

Just a cowgirl dancing far from town

(yeah, far from town!)

Dad taught me how to shoot and keep a fence line tight

Mom showed me how to pray under the starry night Got my

grandfather's hat

hanging off the rack

Heading out to pasture and I ain't looking back

Let the prairie grass whisper in the afternoon breeze

I'm finding my freedom

right on my knees

Born to run with the wind and the summer rain

Writing out my story across the open plain No barbed wire fence

gonna hold this heart down

Just a cowgirl dancing far from town

(running free!)

They told me to settle,

they told me stay put

Put a ring on my finger,

a slow-moving foot

But I hear the coyotes singing to the ridge

Crossing over that burning timber bridge

Born to run with the wind and the summer rain

Writing out my story across the open plain No barbed wire fence

gonna hold this heart down

Just a cowgirl dancing far from town

(ooh-yeah, dancing far from town!)

(holding on!)

Just a cowgirl on the range (whoop!)
