Dixie says that horses know her better than people do

Well I've known dixie seven years and I'd have to say it's true

Once my sweetheart, now the sweetheart of the rodeo

She heard the highway callin' with the meltin' of the snow

Yes I tried... to change her mind

Dixie Darlin', did you find what you were after
Am        F
A greener pasture
C        G
A wilder blue...
C      G               F                  C
When I think about the things that really matter
F        C               G                Am
I always wish that I had mattered more to you

Dixie came to see me on the day her daddy died

Three nights full of thunder and the tears she had to cry
C                    Am              F                 C
She asked if I would hold her, and I held her all that week
G                      Am             Dm               F
Till she loaded up her saddle and she kissed me on the cheek

Dixie called me late one night on Colorado time

Told me she was two weeks late and she knew it must be mine
C                   Am            F                   C
I wanted to raise a family, right here in this little town
G                         Am              F              C
But in the end she wasn't ready to have a kid and settle down
