Lyrics
RIDE SIERRA RIDE
©2021 Karel Daniels/Andy Waks
V1
She hops up on her rocking horse
After breakfast every day
Back and forth a hundred times
Her eyes a dreamy glaze
Pre-Chorus 1
I wonder what she's thinkin' - From that look that's on her face
Is she out there on the prairie, gone to another place?
Chorus
Ride Sierra Ride - Twirl that lasso high
Straight out of the west - Pink hat, pink boots, pink vest
She's a sight to be seen - She's a rodeo queen
Filled with so much pride
Ride Sierra Ride
She's ridin' in a barrel race
Tying dogies with a rope
Acting like the big girls do...
She will someday - She hopes
Pre-Chorus 2
But, I can't talk to her - When that look is on her face
She's starring in a rodeo - Her other favorite place
Chorus
Ride Sierra Ride - Twirl that lasso high
Straight out of the west - Pink hat, pink boots, pink vest
She's a sight to be seen - She's a rodeo queen
Filled with so much pride
Ride Sierra Ride
bridge
"One more ride - it's off to bed"
Her face begins to beam
A kiss goodnight and I tuck her in...
Now she's ridin' in her dreams
Chorus only out
Ride Sierra Ride - Twirl that lasso high
Straight out of the west - Pink hat, pink boots, pink vest
She's a sight to be seen - She's a rodeo queen
Filled with so much pride
Ride Sierra Ride / Ride Sierra ride
