Cowgirls Don’t Fly

Her Daddy gave her first Chevy
Then taught her to drive
He sat her behind that wheel
Said this car will get you there alive
Taught her a lesson that she learned
He shoulda learned as well

Cowgirls don't fly
Drive, baby, drive
You get there fine, just takes a little more time
We don’t have wings we shouldn’t try
You may be sad every now and then
If you drive you’ll get home again
Cowgirls don't fly

She grew up she got married
Booked an island flight
She wanted a Hawaiian honeymoon
Dad said No, go somewhere you can drive
She didn't let him see it break her heart
She didn't let him see her fall apart

'cause Cowgirls don't fly
Drive, baby, drive
You get there fine, just takes a little more time
We don’t have wings we shouldn’t try
You may be sad every now and then
If you drive you’ll get home again
Cowgirls don't fly

Phone rang early one morning
Her Daddy's voice, he'd been crying
Said up in New York, I got into a rush
Booked a flight to Carolina
Took off fine but then we hit birds
Little girl, listen to these words

Cowgirl don't fly
Drive, baby, drive
I’d be home fine if I’d taken my time
But I rushed and God taught me why
Cuz I’m floating out on this wing
Just remember this one thing
Cowgirl don't fly
