(Verse 1)
D                Em
In the Arizona sunlight
                   D
In the Colorado moonlight
                            Em
When she gets there, gonna feel alright
                     D
Now she's feelin so tired
            Bm
She got her big bay horse,
                   G
One she calls the Rollin Sun
                   Em
The hard-running faithful one,
                         A
Out in front of all the rest.

(Chorus)
                        D
She's a barrel racing angel
G                           D
Out there somewhere in the west.

(Verse 2)

Well I wish you could have seen them
At the short go in Cheyenne,
Ol' Sun he's rollin like a thunderstorm
Fast as lightning on the plains.
Now they're tired and sore
But they gotta go some more.
On the road to Las Vegas
There is no place to rest.

(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
G
Cowgirls are special when they follow their dreams.
                           D
Every race is a brand new start.
           G
Some are running for the sake of running.
                                D
Some are running from a broken heart.

(Verse 3)

Just one thing you got to know
You can't hold her, you gotta let her go
You can't catch a silhouette
She's like ice; She's like fire.
They're gonna fly as one
She and Rollin Sun
Out among the stars
Ahead of all the rest

(Repeat Chorus)
