Wild West Wind

[Verse 1] You pinned my hair before the county fair Pressed every pleat till it laid just right "Mind your manners, keep your hemline clean” I smiled so sweet I could’ve passed for porcelain [Pre-Chorus] But there’s red dust hiding underneath this lace And a restless little grin I can’t erase [Chorus] I want my boots on the boardwalk planks Hat tipped low and my own little plans Let the silk slip, let the good girl go There’s a wild west wind in my Sunday clothes I was raised to shine, but I’m made to roam Give me wide-open skies and a road of my own Call me darlin', call me what you please I’m a Texas girl and I’m finally free [Verse 2] At the dance hall, I traded pearls for a belt Found my laugh where the fiddle strings swelled They say I don’t look like I belong out here Bless their hearts... Honey, I’ve been running away for years [Pre-Chorus] Now the dust on my cuffs feels honest and fine And the moon over Lubbock can mind its own shine [Chorus] I want my boots on the boardwalk planks Hat tipped low and my own little plans Let the silk slip, let the good girl go There’s a wild west wind in my Sunday clothes I was raised to shine, but I’m made to roam Give me wide-open skies and a road of my own Call me darlin', call me what you please I’m a Texas girl and I’m finally free [Bridge] Mama, keep the silver comb in the drawer Daddy, I don’t need permission to walk out the door That pretty little picture can stay on the shelf I found my lone star when I chose myself [Final Chorus] I want my boots on the boardwalk planks Hat tipped low and my own little plans Let the silk slip, let the good girl go There’s a wild west wind and I’m ready to roll I was raised to shine, but I’m made to roam Give me wide-open skies and a road of my own Call me darlin', call me what you please I’m a Texas girl, wild and finally free [Instrumental] [Outro] Boots and a hat, and the whole sky wide That’s the Texas in me, honey —watch me ride
