She could've passed for a cowboy The way she carried herself and that fifty pounds of leather Put it up on that pony, light as a feather Like she'd done it all her life Then she asked if I was ready Handed me the reins and we started out walkin' Up until that mornin' she hadn't been much on talkin' Guess it'd finally come the time And she said I've learned more from the back of a horse Than most folks ever get to know You never really know what you're made of 'Til you ride out on your own Ooo baby don't worry I know you're gonna be just fine Ooo now don't be in a hurry You'll feel it when you hit your stride Don't get rattled, sit deep in the saddle Remember to hold on tight And never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly I remember what she told me It's as clear as a bell like it was on that mornin' Kind of like a blessing and a warnin' I've carried all this time I'll pass it on to my daughter As she loads up her car and heads out of the driveway She'll have had enough of doin' things my way It'll be her turn to fly And I'll say I've learned more from the back of a horse Than most folks ever get to know You never really know what you're made of 'Til you ride out on your own Ooo baby don't worry You know you're gonna be just fine Ooo don't be in a hurry You'll feel it when you hit your stride Don't get rattled, sit deep in the saddle Remember to hold on tight And never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly Ooo baby don't worry You know you're gonna be just fine Ooo don't be in a hurry You'll feel it when you hit your stride Don't get rattled, sit deep in the saddle Remember to hold on tight And never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly Don't you ever ride faster than your guardian angel can fly Remember oh remember baby She coulda passed for a cowboy
