[Instrumental] [Intro][not too heavy on the music yet] [verse one] I was brushing my horse before putting him to bed I heard the rustling of the trees over 'neath the hillside and, I saw the cowboy coming towards my home I grabbed the baby and ran for the shed I put her gently under the bed [Verse 2] I had the rifle on the ready-to shoot , so why was I shaking from head to foot? He was a strong man what could I do? what could I do? [Chorus] It's hard to live in this insecurity I just want peace this is INSANITY!! Sure enough he opened that door down, But t going to face the wrath of this woman [instrumenatal is getting stronger now along with the womans voice] [Chorus] It's hard to live in this insecurity I just want peace this is INSANITY!! [Verse 3] Door flung open wide, as I readied the rifle at the door I saw the cowboy hat first and the boots as they slowly walked in Just right then I almost fainted Just right then I knew that man His beard was long but his face I knew like the back of my hand [strong bass drum and quick snaps] [Instrumental] [Chorus] It's hard to live in this insecurity I just want peace this is INSANITY!! [softer music now] [verse 4] I lower'd the rifle as I saw that face He's finally home after leaving this place! He said 'Katie' what you doing with that thing as I lay the rifle on the table & ran to my husband [chorus] [verse5] We embraced and kissed and didn't let go He said 'how does a man get a meal around here? I said ' it's simmerin' on the stove, coffee's almost ready, go wash up, go get ready. My husband didn't let go, he kissed me tenderly, [Chorus] It's hard to live in this insecurity I just want peace this is INSANITY!! [Verse 4] We caught up with the happenings of our lives, two years apart He told me stories of brave young men and friends he had met I told him how I planted herbs, went fishing with a net. [pre-chorus] He stroked my hair and held me tight for tonight we didn't have to put up a fight just to make it through the night ooooohhhhh [Chorus] It's hard to live in this insecurity I just want peace this is INSANITY!! [outro] We were safe for now that felt so good [tempo slows down] How happy were we with our little settlement [speech] Moral of the story is to remember to be kind We don't know what might be happening with another person Remember we might need to be given that same kindness, someday!
