Guardian Angel

She could've passed for a cowboy
The way she carried herself
And that fifty pounds of leather
Put it up on that pony
Light as a feather
Like she'd done it all her life

Then she asked if i was ready
Handed me the reins
And we started out walking
Up until that morning
She hadn't been much on talking
Guess it'd finally come the time

And she said
I've learned more from the back of a horse
Than most folks ever get to know
You never really know what you're made of
`Til you ride out on your own

Oooh, baby
Don't worry
I know you're gonna be just fine
Oooh, Now
Don't be in a hurry
You'll feel it when you hit your stride

Don't get rattled
Sit deep in the saddle
Remember to hold on tight
And never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly

I remember what she told me
It's as clear as a bell
Like it was on that morning
Kind of like a blessing and a warning

I've carried all this time
I'll pass it on to my daughter
As she loads up her car and heads out of the driveway
She'll have had enough of doing things my way
It'll be her turn to fly

And I'll say
I've learned more from the back of a horse
Than most folks ever get to know
You never really know what you're made of
`Til you ride out on your own

Oooh, baby don't worry
You know you're gonna be just fine
Oooh
Don't be in a hurry
You'll feel it when you hit your stride

Don't get rattled
Sit deep in the saddle
Remember to hold on tight
And never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly

Oooh, baby
Don't worry
You know you're gonna be just fine
Oooh, don't be in a hurry
You'll feel it when you hit your stride

Don't get rattled
Sit deep in the saddle
Remember to hold on tight
And never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly

Don't you ever ride faster
Than your guardian angel can fly
Remember, oh
Remember, baby
She coulda passed for a cowboy
