My Country Heart

I am a western gal without a doubt

Though the cowgirl part never worked out

An enigma when two worlds collide

Big city raised but country inside

The horses I’ve ridden number more than a few

Their majestic strength I never outgrew

And when I was thrown I always got back on

If I was still conscious after hitting the ground

I’ve done the state fairs, took a ribbon or two

Believe it or not, been caught in quicksand, too

Spent many an evening rolling in the hay

A Wrangler butt the best reason to play

Though the city has always been my home

My country heart is my incentive to roam

Whether on the freeway or in a mall

I’m planning my escape to be with y’all
