Theres a hundred years of history
and a hundred before that
All gathered in the thinkin'
Goin' on beneath her hat A cold flame burns within her
till her skin 's as cold as ice
and the dues she paid to get here
Are worth every sacrifice All the miles spent sleepy drivin'
All the money down the drain
all the If's and nearly'sAll the bandages and Pain All the fever and the fight
Are just a small down payment
On the ride she makes tonight Its guts and love for glory
One mortal chance at fame
Her leagacy is Rodeo
And Cowgirl is her name
