Morning sun cuts through that old tin roof Dust in the air like a little bit of truth She throws that saddle on, pulls the cinch up tight That mare stands quiet in the golden light She ain’t worried ’bout her hair or her phone Once her boots hit dirt, she’s already home Climbs in that saddle like she’s done all her life Yeah, I know that look—she’s ready to ride Some folks need a highway Some need neon lights Give her reins in her hands And watch her come alive That’s where she comes alive Between four rails and a Texas sky Little bit of dust, little sweat in her eyes Chasing something money could never buy Let the whole damn world keep spinning outside She’s got a horse underneath her And a fire inside Yeah, somewhere between the saddle and the ride That’s where she comes alive I’ve seen the bad runs, I’ve seen the good Seen her get back on when nobody thought she would She’ll talk to that horse like an old best friend “Come on, girl, let’s try it again” It ain’t just ribbons hanging on a wall It’s getting back up every time you fall It’s one more circle, one more rundown tonight One more chance to finally get it right That’s where she comes alive Between four rails and a Texas sky Little bit of dust, little sweat in her eyes Chasing something money could never buy Let the whole damn world keep spinning outside She’s got a horse underneath her And a fire inside Yeah, somewhere between the saddle and the ride That’s where she comes alive I can carry the tack I can open the gate I can stand on the rail And stay outta her way But when she picks up those reins… Man, all I can do is smile ’CAUSE THAT’S WHERE SHE COMES ALIVE Dirt flying underneath a Texas sky Heart wide open and fire in her eyes Doing what she was put on this earth to try Let the whole damn world keep spinning outside She’s got a dream underneath her And nothing left to hide Yeah, somewhere between the saddle and the ride That’s where she comes alive Morning sun… Arena dust… Her and that horse… And that’s enough.
