From the recording Chinook Waltz

When She Rides
Girls that grow up on working ranches, grow up amazingly strong and independent. Their skills with horses and cows are something to behold. But we saw the softer side of one that was going through some very rough times in her life. Her horse seemed to be the only one she turned to, and they only one that could help ease her pain..

Lyrics

When She Rides
Craig Bignell & Suzanne Levesque
Born a cowboys daughter, Wild and free
Tough as nails from riding those trails, that’s how she was raised to be Wind burned in pigtails, warmest smile you’ve ever seen
In old chaps with a tear above the knee
Seasons change, people change their minds Promises get broken, love gets left behind
She is a strong one, but sometimes she needs to cry She saddles up her horse and starts to ride
CH:
When she rides, the hurt inside
Fades with every mile behind her, a thousand tear drops dry That horse he knows, she needs him so
She loves the world around her when she rides
She tries so hard to hide her, broken heart Life came unravelled, fell apart
Ears up he’s waiting, for his girl
To carry her and the weight of her world

CH:
When she rides, the hurt inside
Fades with every mile behind her, a thousand tear drops dry
That horse he knows, she needs him so
She loves the world around her when she rides
BRIDGE:
Now she’s off to college, so far away from home
She’s waiting, and counting, the days ‘till she comes home
Late at night she dreams of him, so she don’t feel alone
He’s waiting, there for her, so she won’t be alone
While he looks for her each morning, thinking this might be the day They’ll get through this together, he’ll never let her down
She’ll come home, saddle up, and they’ll just ride away
CH:
When she rides, the hurt inside
Fades with every mile behind her, a thousand tear drops dry That horse he knows, she needs him so
She loves the world around her when she rides
She loves the world around her
Trouble cannot find her
She loves the world around her when she rides
