Life On Planet Cowgirl

Templeton Thompson Life On Planet Cowgirl Lyrics
1.When I Get That Pony Rode

Face down in the dirt
Every inch of me hurts
Guess it wasn't such a perfect landin'
Yeah i'm still alive
Not sure how I survived
It was a hell of a ride 'til it ended
I guess that's what you get when you leap
You don't always end up on your feet

Oh there's easier ways I could go
Oh but deep down inside me I know
I'll really have somethin' to show
When I get that pony rode

Every now and again
I get myself in a spin
Face the true consequence of a fast turn
Every up every down
Every single go round
Every fall I have found makes me stronger
So I'll knock all the dust off and then
I'll get back in the saddle again

Oh there's easier ways I could go
Oh but deep down inside me I know
I'll really have somethin' to show
When I get that pony rode

I guess that's what you get when you leap
You don't always end up on your feet

Oh yeah there's easier ways I could go
Oh but deep down inside me I know
I'll really have somethin' to show
When I get that pony rode

Oh but deep down inside me i know
I'll really have somethin' to show
When I get that pony rode
When I get that pony rode
Yeah

Makin' sure you make the most of every breath you take

5.Follow Me Around

I ain't braggin'
I'm just sayin'
It don't get no better than it's been here lately
Funny how a new found friend
Can pick you up and help you find your long lost grin

Follow me around
Follow me around
If you wanna see what happy looks like
Follow me around

Since i found my
Four leaf clover
Seems like good stuff just keeps happenin' all over
So i won't waste time askin' why
While fortune's smilin' i'll enjoy the ride

Follow me around
Follow me around
If you wanna see what lucky looks like
Follow me around

Oh oh who knows
Where this will go

Follow me around
Follow me around
If you wanna see what love looks like
Follow me around

Follow me around
Yeah follow me around
If you wanna see what forever looks like
Follow me around

If you wanna see what happy looks like
If you wanna see what lucky looks like
If you wanna see what love looks like
Follow me around


6.I Miss the Girl

Peaceful
Layin' back and countin' stars
Sure that there was one up there for me and dreamin'
Without a doubt that they'd come true
Back then it seemed so easy to believe

When everything was right there for the takin'
Back before it got so complicated

I miss the girl i used to be
On top of the world and fancy free
A lazy summer day was all she needed
That fearless heart that used to laugh
And love with everything she had
When faith and hope and trust were just like breathin'
I love the woman i've turned out to be
But sometimes, sometimes
I miss the girl

Grateful
For everything that's come my way
And if i had the chance i wouldn't change a thing
But there's moments
When it all gets to be too much
And i miss the innocence of seventeen

When everything was right there for the takin'
Back before it got so complicated

I miss the girl i used to be
On top of the world and fancy free
A lazy summer day was all she needed
(i miss the girl)
That fearless heart that used to laugh
And love with everything she had
When faith and hope and trust were just like breathin'
I love the woman i've turned out to be
But sometimes, sometimes
I miss the girl

She lived everyday so free and easy
I wonder what she'd say if she could see me

(I miss the girl)
I miss the girl i used to be
On top of the world and fancy free
A lazy summer day was all she needed
(I miss the girl)
Yeah that fearless heart that used to laugh
And love with everything she had
When faith and hope and trust were just like breathin'
Yeah i love the woman i've turned out to be
But sometimes, sometimes
I miss the girl


7.Stronger In the Broken Places

It took a long time
But i've made peace
With my less than picture perfect history
And it's pointless
Placin' blame
See the past is stubborn it ain't gonna change
It took goin' there to get here and that's okay

I'm stronger in the broken places
And wiser for the roads i went down
Better for the bruises and the pain
I couldn't see it then
But i see it now
What i've learned along the way has made me
Stronger in the broken places

I am gratefull
And i am blessed
I'm in the here and now with no regrets
And where the heartache used to be
There's a river of forgiveness runnin' deep
And i know i'm right where i'm s'posed to be

I'm stronger in the broken places
And wiser for the roads i went down
Better for the bruises and the pain
I couldn't see it then
But i see it now
What i've learned along the way has made me
Stronger in the broken places

Where i've hurt and healed
I swear i feel

Stronger in the broken places
And wiser for the roads i went down
Better for the bruises and the pain
I couldn't see it then
But i see it now
What i've learned along the way has made me stronger
Stronger in the broken places


8.Missin' You

I was standin' up on stage
In some 'ol smokey, musty place
In longview texas singin' my heart out doin' my very best
emmylou if i could only win your love is hittin' way to close to
home i shouldn't let it seems no matter where i go every song
and every road leads back to you

Oh i'm lost out here without ya
Miss everything about ya
It's so hard to be alone
Oh sometimes i get to wondrin'
Am i chasin' down a dream or am i runnin'
From the one i left back home

On the way to san anton'
Dialin' in the radio
When i heard willie
You were always on my mind
Brought you right back to mine
Right then and there
Oh and somedays like today
It starts to feel like missin' you is gonna kill me
Makes me wonder if the miles
I put behind me
Ever got me anywhere

Oh i'm lost out here without ya
Miss everything about ya
It's so hard to be alone
Oh sometimes i get to wondrin'
Am i chasin' down a dream or am i runnin'
From the one i left back home

Oh oh
I'm missin' you babe i'm missin' you babe
I'm missin' you
Oh yeah
I'm needin' you babe i'm needin' you babe
I'm needin' you
I need you
Oh i need you

Oh i'm lost out here without ya
I miss everything about ya
It's so hard to be alone
Oh yeah sometimes i get to wondrin'
Am i chasin' down a dream or am i runnin'
From the one i left back home

Now i'm standin' up on stage
In some 'ol smoky musty place
In somewhere texas
Singin' my heart out
And missin' you
Oh yeah baby baby baby i'm missin' you
Oh babe i'm missin' you


9.I'd Rather Run Than Crawl

Ten miles out of missoula, montana
At some little hole in the wall
A whole world away from mobile, alabama
And i'm feelin' no pain at all
My tear soaked troubles were hung out to dry
Back on that old alabama state line

Some will go crazy, right out of their mind
Some will go straight to the dogs
I've known those who get down and beg on their knees
Pleadin' for love that they lost
But i'd rather run than crawl
I'd rather run than crawl

'Cause i've got a bed roll and a gypsy in my soul
And a pretty good 'ol pick-up truck
She always keeps me ahead of your mem'ry
As long as i keep her filled up

I pointed myself toward the new mornin' sun
And headed right into great falls
Then i doubled back west on state road 21
Fightin' the strong urge to call
But i'll drive just as far as my heart needs to go
To get these ol' feelins' to leave me alone

Some will go crazy, right out of their mind
Some will go straight to the dogs
I've known those who get down and beg on their knees
Pleadin' for love that they lost
But i'd rather run than crawl
I'd rather run than crawl


10.Yee Ha & Halleluja

Can i get a witness
'Bout feelin' low down
Tryin' to spread the good word
In an old ghost town

All those high and mighty
Powers that be
They don't seem to notice
These empty streets

I'm tired of them old fools
Makin' their own rules
Time to set the music free
Everybody say

Yee ha & halleluja
Peace, love and rock~n~roll
People more power to ya
Feel the groove down to your soul
Let the mighty spirit move ya
Yee ha & halleluja

Ya say you want redemption
I can show you how
You can do your own thing
Startin' here and now

You're feelin' like a prisoner
You can break those chains
Brothers and sisters
You can make a change

All you sons and daughtersS
Step into the water
Wash them sins away
Everybody say

Yee ha & halleluja
Peace, love and rock-n-roll
People more power to ya
Feel the groove down to your soul
Let the mighty spirit move ya
Yee ha & halleluja

Rise up true believers
To your feet
Hey roll the stone away
There's a new day dawnin'
Can't you feel it comin'
People let me hear you say yeah

Yee ha & halleluja
Peace, love and rock-n-roll
People more power to ya
Feel the groove down to your soul
Let the mighty spirit move ya
Yee ha & halleluja

Can i get a yee ha, y'all


11.Happy House

Our happy house
By the river side
Where the cottonwoods grow
And the bluebirds fly
There's a rusty old nail
Holdin' up a welcome sign
Coffee's on
Come on by

Our happy house
Is just sticks and stones
But it's a real good place
To take it slow
Just kick on back
And before you know
You'll find yourself
Right at home

Our happy house
Is built on love
Filled with dreams
Man, that's the stuff

Our happy house
Got three good dogs
And a scratch on the head
Is all they want
There's a lesson there
Take it all in stride
Life is good
Enjoy the ride

Our happy house
Is built on love
Filled with dreams
Man, that's the stuff
And everyday
I'm more amazed
How everything
Just falls into place

Our happy house
By the river side
Where the cottonwoods grow
And the bluebirds fly


12.When My Story's Told

When my story's told
I hope they'll say
She left this world
A little bit better place
And i hope they laugh
Until they cry
On the day they come
To say goodbye

And one day when my story's told
When the last page of my life unfolds
I hope i'll have done good
I hope... i hope

When my story's told
I hope it's long
That the right i've done
Way outdoes the wrong
And i hope it's full
Of the ones i love
And i pray that they
Know just how much

And one day when my story's told
When the last page of my life unfolds
I hope i'll have done good
I hope... i hope

When my story's told
I hope you'll remember me
For followin' my heart
And chasin' all my dreams

And one day when my story's told
When the last page of my life unfolds
I hope He'll say well done
And welcome home
I hope...
When my story's told
