Barrel Racing Angel lyrics

In the Arizona sunlight

In the Colorado moonlight

When she gets there, gonna feel alright

Now she's feelin so tired

She got her big bay horse,

One she calls the Rollin Sun

The hard-running faithful one,

Out in front of all the rest.

She's a barrel racing angel

Out there somewhere in the west.

Well I wish you could have seen them

At the short go in Cheyenne,

Ol' Sun he's rollin like a thunderstorm

Fast as lightning on the plains.

Now they're tired and sore

But they gotta go some more.

On the road to Las Vegas

There is no place to rest.

Cowgirls are special when they follow their dreams.

Every race is a brand new start.

Some are running for the sake of running.

Some are running from a broken heart.

Just one thing you got to know

You can't hold her, you gotta let her go

You can't catch a silhouette

She's like ice; She's like fire.

They're gonna fly as one

She and Rollin Sun

Out among the stars

Ahead of all the rest
