She used to braid her hair in the morning light
Lace on her boots with a gentle fight
The prairie was her mirror, the sky her stage
But time's got a way of turnin' the page
Now she's spittin' words sharp as barbed wire fence
Her tongue's a matchstick, her temper's immense
Gone's the girl with the soft-spoken trust
She's the cowgirl that cussed, yeah, the cowgirl that cussed
Used to hum lullabies to the cattle at night
Now she growls at the moon when it don't shine bright
Whiskey replaces her sweet lemonade
Her voice like gravel, her innocence frayed
Ain't no roses left to bloom in her trail
Just dust and echoes, and a heart gone pale
Now she's spittin' words sharp as barbed wire fence
Her tongue's a matchstick, her temper's immense
Gone's the girl with the soft-spoken trust
She's the cowgirl that cussed, yeah, the cowgirl that cussed
Was it heartbreak, the wind, or the weight of the land
That hardened her soul, calloused her hands
A world that don't listen, a life that don't bend
Turned her sweet talk to curses she'll never amend
