james keelaghan - number 37 lyrics

[verse 1]
she wore number 37, her horse was chestnut brown
i saw her at a rodeo in a high plains western town
underneath the turquoise sky a thunderstorm was rolling in
the infield getting sticky, the crowd was wearing thin
now, i love the barrel racing, but i cannot say i’d gone
to see some woman ride flat out as she rounds the turn for home
and riding h+ll+for+leather, the bit between her t++th
it’s poetry in motion

[verse 2]
she wore number 37, she was the sevеnth one to ride
she showеd no hint of nerves and she sat her horse with pride
horse and rider leapt together, i wish that i could hear
the words she spoke to spur him on as she leaned down to his ear
they rounded the first barrel, from the bleachers i could see
she didn’t use a riding crop for the horse ran like a breeze
’round barrel two i stammered, she closed a figure+eight
then out for barrel three, as she was liquid, yeah

[verse 3]
no she didn’t use a riding crop, she barely used her spurs
she used hands and knees, she used gentle loving words
i’d like to say she won that day, but that wouldn’t be the fact
she’d cross the line in sixty+nine in the middle of the pack
you’d never know she’d lost, she grinned from ear to ear
she stroked her charger’s neck and once more whispered in his ear
she was happy that they’d done that well, n0body got hurt
she got all the speed she wanted using gentle loving words
[verse 4]
so hats off to you, 37, where ever you may be
the pleasure’s not in winning, it’s in riding wild and free
and one thing that i learned that day, you can whip and you can curse
but you’ll get as good a ride if you use gentle loving words

[outro]
she wore number 37, her horse was chestnut brown
i saw her at a rodeo in a high plains western town
one+two+three+four
