[Verse 1] Susie was born where the fence lines faded To fields beneath the western sun Daughter of a dairyman Learned young how work gets done Boots dusted red in the rodeo Barrel racing wild and free With the wind tangled in her brown hair And a heart bigger than the country [Pre-Chorus] She could calm a storm with a soft smile Carry pain and never complain Even when life tried to break her She’d get right back up again [Chorus] She’s still ridin’ on through the memories Through the laughter and the tears In the grandkids by the Christmas tree In the love she gave for years Through every hard road life put her on She kept the light turned on Yeah, her body got tired But her spirit stayed strong She’s still ridin’ on [Verse 2] She loved one man with all she had Till heaven called him home too soon Left alone with six young hearts And more hard days than she let on But she never let us see her break Never let the cupboards run dry Scrubbed the halls and cleaned the pews Then came home and got us by [Pre-Chorus] And every soul that crossed her pathway Felt the kindness in her hands She gave pieces of herself away Without asking for a thing back again [Chorus] She’s still ridin’ on through the memories Through the laughter and the tears In the grandkids by the Christmas tree In the love she gave for years Through every hard road life put her on She kept the light turned on Yeah, her body got tired But her spirit stayed strong She’s still ridin’ on [Bridge] Later years came slow and heavy Walker wheels across the floor But she still showed up for the music Like she always had before Country songs and laughing friends Filled those Friday nights again She couldn’t dance the way she used to But her heart still twirled with them [Final Chorus] She’s still ridin’ on through the generations In every lesson that she gave In the strength she planted in her children And the grace inside her faith And somewhere beyond those open plains Where the old love stories live She’s square dancing with her true love now Like they never had to end Yeah, heaven’s got a cowgirl now And she’s still ridin’ on [Outro] Still ridin’ on… Still ridin’ on…
