Cowgirls and Devils

(Verse 1)
Dust on her boots, sun in her hair
Fence line’s broken but she don’t care
That old red barn’s seen better days
But it still hums in her daddy’s ways
They came in suits with silver tongues
Talking dollars, talking runs
But she just spit in the desert wind
Said “This land ain’t for selling, friend”
(Chorus)
It’s cowgirls and devils knocking at her door
With contracts and chains she won’t sign for
They can wave their gold, they can beg and plead
But this blood-soaked dirt is all she needs
Yeah, cowgirls and devils, they’re drawing their lines
But she’s holding the ground that her daddy died
Ain’t no price on love, ain’t no deal with sin
This ranch stands tall ‘cause she won’t give in
(Verse 2)
Old pickup groans like a wounded steer
Same as it did for thirty years
Her daddy’s hat on the dash still lays
Like he’s riding shotgun through her days
Bank man called with a final warn
“Sell it now or you’ll lose it all come morn’”
She laughed low like a rattlesnake
Said “You don’t know the kind of heart I make”
(Chorus)
It’s cowgirls and devils knocking at her door
With contracts and chains she won’t sign for
They can wave their gold, they can beg and plead
But this blood-soaked dirt is all she needs
Yeah, cowgirls and devils, they’re drawing their lines
But she’s holding the ground that her daddy died
Ain’t no price on love, ain’t no deal with sin
This ranch stands tall ‘cause she won’t give in
(Bridge)
Storm rolled in, skies turned black
Lightning danced on the mountain’s back
She stood alone but she stood her ground
Heard her daddy’s voice in the thunder sound
“Hold that line, don’t you bend or break
This land’s your soul, it’s not theirs to take”
(Breakdown)
So she saddled up at the crack of dawn
With fire in her heart and her fear long gone
(Final Chorus)
Yeah it’s cowgirls and devils, the fight ain’t fair
But she’s got dust and grit and a righteous prayer
Let ‘em come with greed, let ‘em try again
She’ll be standing tall till the bitter end
Cowgirls and devils, they fade away
But a legacy like hers is here to stay
Ain’t no pen, no deal, no paper thin—
Strong as the west… she won’t give in
(Outro)
Dust settles slow on that old ranch land…
And she tips her hat to her daddy’s hand…
