From the recording Ranch Songs
Lyrics
She had big dreams of the rodeo
Sold off the house, told you to go
Saddled up, headed straight
out of your childhood town
What were you supposed to do?
Wish her luck, pray to God
that she'll spin circles 'round your life again?
She left her wedding ring by the kitchen sink,
Left you wide-eyed and wondering
Will you still be her man when the fans rise for the anthem?
Where she’s carving infinity into the dust
and you’re wearing your worry deep into the rug.
The cows have come home, but her boots aren't there by the door
And you know, that forever, she’s chosen the road.
Another long drive past Caroline, your song stuck in her mind
Forever and Ever, Amen”.
Coulda been a blonde baby boy in the yard, lookin just like you,
but that horse left the stable ages ago.
Where she’s carving infinity into the dust,
and you’re wearing your worry deep into the rug.
The cows have come home, but her boots aren't there by the door
And you know, that forever, she’s chosen the road.
Oh when glory's up for grabs, always around the bend,
legends are never made until somebody’s heart gets broken
And the stories always warn you about no good cowboys,
but it’s the rodeo queens that will leave you waiting in the stands.
Where she’s carving infinity into the dust
and you’re wearing your worry deep into the rug.
The cows have come home, but her boots aren't there by the door
And you know, that forever, she’s chosen the road.
She’s chosen the road.
