Mountain Daughter

My soul's buried beneath an aspen tree in Cimarron, Colorado

And it's bearing the name of my one true love

And a heart pierced by an arrow

It neighbors a stream, and it seems to me

That it's flowing with holy water

Lord, I love Texas, God knows I do

But I know I'm a mountain daughter

Hurry up, honey, gotta get there fast

All I need is you and a tank of gas

Concrete jungle that's got no space

Is leaving me aching for the day

We can hold each other by the mountain stream

That's flowing with holy water

Lord, I love Texas, God knows I do

But I know I'm a mountain daughter

Colorado, you're calling for me

I can hear your voice traveling on the breeze

Colorado, I'm longing for your valleys and your stars above

I'm leaving it soon with the one I love

I can hear the river and the sparrows sing

Calling me back home to the rural dream

Of building us a cabin and a life up where

My soul's at home and my mind is clear

There's a short-haired pointer, ahead of cattle

The kids are running wild

Lord, I love Texas, God knows I do

But I'm gonna raise a mountain child

Colorado, you're calling for me

I can hear your voice traveling on the breeze

Colorado, I'm longing for your valleys and your stars above

I'm leaving it soon with the one I love

God forbid the day when I cannot touch his face

And silence fills our space

And Lord, I beg of Thee

That for eternity, we will be

Buried beneath that aspen tree in Cimarron, Colorado

The one that's bearing the name of my one true love

And a heart pierced by an arrow
