Free Spirit

Free Spirit

Laura Hooker/Tim Schlesener

V1

12 years old, long dress, barefoot

On a boundary breaking ride

Sheltered by sugar cane fields

And a bayou on one side

Bareback she pushed her limits

As they wind blew through her hair

It touched a part of her soul

She didn’t even know was there

 

Chorus

Feeding her free spirt

She dug her heals into its side

One hand on the reins

As she tightly closed her eyes

Alive at last and loving every minute

Smile stretched so wide you could hear it

There’s no fear….

When you’re feeding your free spirit

 

V2

The outside of the horse

Changed the inside of the girl

And even when she fell off

She learned to give it another whirl

Wipe the bloody hands and knees

That get skinned along the way

Every lesson prepared the girl

For the wild rides of today

 

Chorus

Feeding her free spirt

She dug her heals into its side

One hand on the reins

As she tightly closed her eyes

Alive at last and loving every minute

Smile stretched so wide you could hear it

There’s no fear….

When you’re feeding your free spirit

 

Bridge

And there’s nothing like the feeling

When you get on … and STAY ON !

 

Chorus

Feeding her free spirt

She dug her heals into its side

One hand on the reins

As she tightly closed her eyes

Alive at last and loving every minute

Smile stretched so wide you could hear it

There’s no fear….

When you’re feeding your free spirit
