Never Not Had Horses

Well she's never not had horses and she don’t know what to do
The few left on the place are lame, their ribs are showin' too
She knows it ain't fair to them with winter comin’ soon
But she's never not had horses and she don't know what to do

Without some kinda cavvy 'round she don't know who she is
She grew up trailin' cattle in the Rockies as a kid
She rode to a one room schoolhouse, learned her letters pass or fail
And each day her greatest teacher was just outside tied to the rail

Well she's never not had horses, she's rode her whole life through
Without a couple ponies around, what’s an old cowgirl meant to do?

She’s feedin' lots of oats but they won’t keep on any weight
You can't rope off of Jackie now and we're about to lose the paint
She dreams about a green broke colt but her knees are bad too
She's never not had horses and she don’t know what to do

Well she's never not had horses, she's rode her whole life through
Without a couple ponies around, what's an old cowgirl meant to do?

BREAK

What's an old cowgirl meant to do?

All her life she's marked her time with horses that she's loved
But now she's all alone out there and with DC gone, it's tough
The vet's just up the road and tells her it's for their own good
But when it's time to place the call I ask you, who among you could?

Well she's never not had horses, she's rode her whole life through
Without a couple ponies around, what's an old cowgirl meant to do?
Well she's never not had horses and she don't know what to do
