It Takes Her Away

What's the matter with ya, please don't cry

Me and daddy don't mean to fight

It's almost over.

Gotta love that little girl

Carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders

She runs outside, climbs on her chestnut horse

Before too long she won't be cryin' anymore

It takes her away, gives her wings to fly

Opens her heart, and frees her mind

There's no denying; when she's riding

Her every worry disappears

The wind whispers away her tears

From the moment she takes the reins

Oh that sweet saving grace

Yeah, it takes her away

Whoever said life was fair

Either never had to get nowhere,

Or don't know nothing.

She's a woman, not a little girl

Living out in a grown up world

Where it's always something

Yeah, it's so easy to get let down

And hard to find relief

But once she's in the saddle

She can breathe

Oh, it takes her away, gives her wings to fly

Opens her heart, and frees her mind

There's no denying; when she's riding

Her every worry disappears

The wind whispers away her tears

From the moment she takes the reins

Oh that sweet saving grace

Yeah, it takes her away

Away from the madness

Away from the emptiness

Freedom feeds her soul

When she's not sure how much further she can go

It takes her away, gives her wings to fly

Opens her heart, and frees her mind

There's no denying; when she's riding

Her every worry disappears

The wind whispers away her tears

From the moment she takes the reins

Oh that sweet saving grace

Yeah, it takes her away

What's the matter with ya?

Please don't cry

Me and daddy don't mean to fight..
