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 And 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 cavy '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 'round 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 But 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 'round What's an old cowgirl meant to do? 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 'round What's an old cowgirl meant to do? Well, she's never not had horses And she don't know what to do
