There’s a world outside that arena gate Full of noise and worry, running late Bills on the counter, weight on my mind A hundred things all fighting for my time But I pull that saddle from the rack Lay it on and cinch up the strap One boot in the stirrup, I swing up again And the whole world fades when I take those reins I take one breath Let everything go And somewhere in that silence I find the girl I know Somewhere between the reins And the dirt beneath my feet Between a quiet walk And that pounding heartbeat I leave the weight of the world Outside those arena walls And remember who I was Before I carried it all I found the part of me I thought I’d lost Somewhere between the reins I’ve chased the perfect circle all night long Spun too fast, stopped too short, got it wrong But my horse never asks me where I’ve been Just waits for me to breathe and try again There ain’t a buckle hanging on my wall That could ever mean as much as all The quiet moments nobody else can see When that horse brings me back to me I loosen my grip Let the silence roll And somewhere in that saddle I can feel my soul Somewhere between the reins And the dirt beneath my feet Between a quiet walk And that pounding heartbeat I leave the weight of the world Outside those arena walls And remember who I was Before I carried it all I found the part of me I thought I’d lost Somewhere between the reins Maybe healing doesn’t make a sound Maybe sometimes it just circles ’round Four hoofprints underneath the lights A little peace on a restless night No crowd… No score… No need to explain… Just me, my horse… And the reins. Somewhere between the reins I found my way back home Found the piece of me I thought was long gone And when this world gets heavy And I’ve given all I can I know there’s still one place Where I remember who I am Where the noise disappears And my heart can breathe again I found the part of me I thought I’d lost… Somewhere between the reins. Yeah, the world can wait outside While I find myself again Me, my horse, and a little peace… Somewhere between the reins.
