"Blue Roan" lyrics

If you make my pretty Roan blue
You should hope that I don't find you, 'cause
It's a fact that cowboy fathers
See red when cowgirl daughters
Show up at that front door
With their heart broken in two

That girl was born under a storm
She had our horses running wild
Like autumn leaves, she fell asleep
In my arms, and, man, my heart
Was hers from her first smile

Ain't nothing I won't do
For her, so know

If you make my pretty Roan blue
You should hope that I don't find you, 'cause
It's a fact that cowboy fathers
See red when cowgirl daughters
Show up at that front door
With their heart broken in two

You better have a horse as fast as lightning
If you call her yours and leave her crying
You better make peace with your Maker
'Cause Blue ain't the name that her mama gave her
I'm warning you
Don't make my pretty Roan blue

She'll shed some tears
She'll feel some pain
Yeah, that's just all a part of living
And she might forgive
But just know this
With me, son, there ain't no forgiving

Ain't nothing I won't do
For her, so know

If you make my pretty Roan blue
You should know that I'm gonna find you, 'cause
It's a fact that cowboy fathers
See red when cowgirl daughters
Show up at that front door
With their heart broken in two

You better have a horse as fast as lightning
If you call her yours and leave her crying
You better make peace with your Maker
'Cause Blue ain't the name that her mama gave her
I'm warning you
Don't make my pretty Roan blue

Blue
Blue
I'm always gonna find a way
To dry my baby's tears away
Blue
I'm always gonna find a way
To dry my baby's tears away
I'm always gonna find a way
To dry my baby's tears away
I'm always gonna find a way
To dry my baby's tears away
