That's What Cowgirls Do

She don’t wait around for nothing,
Sunrise finds her boots on tight.
Hair still smelling like the prairie,
Eyes full of wildfire light.

She’ll give you one slow smile
That makes your heartbeat skip a beat,
But don’t you try to tie her down—
That girl was born to roam the breeze.

You’ll swear she’s drifting closer,
But she’s already riding through…
And every time you think you’ve got her
She’s gone like morning dew—

’Cause that’s what cowgirls do—
They kick up dust and chase the moon.
They’ll steal your heart before you know,
Then ride off singing something true.

They love hard,
They burn bright,
They leave you changed before the night—
Oh, they break the rules
And they break through…
Yeah, that’s what cowgirls do.

She’ll dance barefoot on a tailgate,
Laugh like summer never ends.
Talk about her crazy dreams
And how she’s sworn to chase the wind.

You think you’re getting closer,
You think she’s letting someone in…
But she’s already eyeing horizons
You didn’t know existed yet.

She’s got a restless heartbeat,
A truth she always knew…
You can ride along beside her,
But you can’t ever ride her through—

’Cause that’s what cowgirls do—
They kick up dust and chase the moon.
They’ll steal your heart before you know,
Then ride off singing something true.

They love hard,
They burn bright,
They leave you changed before the night—
Oh, they break the rules
And they break through…
Yeah, that’s what cowgirls do.

Maybe someday she’ll slow that horse,
Turn around and call your name.
But don’t you ever try to catch her—
Freedom’s running in her veins.

If she lets you ride beside her,
Even for a mile or two…
Count it as a blessing, partner—
’Cause not many men get that view.

’Cause that’s what cowgirls do—
They spin your world and make it new.
They lift you up with every laugh,
And teach you how to see things through.

They love wild,
They shine bright,
They leave you chasing stars at night—
Oh, they shake your soul
And they shake loose…
Yeah, that’s what cowgirls do.
