Silver Cowboy Boots

She thought she needed a cowboy
To sing her country songs
Thought she needed a harmony
To be strong
One day he rode away
There she stood alone
She blew away that dust he left
And realized she had grown
(‘Cause) she had silver cowboy boots and friends of gold
A Hummingbird guitar to play and a mandolin to hold
She had a heart of songs that she knew she had to sing
She had everything
She liked George and Tammy
Johnny and June
Dolly and Porter
Loretta and Conway too
But one voice can sing
Just as well as two
When Gram was gone too soon
She thought of Emmylou
She had silver cowboy boots and friends of gold
A Hummingbird guitar to play and a mandolin to hold
She had a heart of songs that she knew she had to sing
She had everything
One day she rose and she knew that she was fine
Those silver cowboy boots began to shine
Then she wrote that song
About a rodeo
The one where the cowgirl learns
It’s always been her show
And she had silver cowboy boots and friends of gold
A Hummingbird guitar to play and a mandolin to hold
She had a heart of songs that she knew she had to sing
She had everything
She had everything
