Never Not Had Horses Songtext
von Corb Lund

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
