Lyrics
Plains Girl
Her young untamed heart made her restless and wild
A truck stop window view fed a dreary emptiness
An unchanging world and time slipping by
Led her to trade that life fordreams left unexpressed
She's a plains girl born to run
Belongs under wide open skies
It calls her home whatever's been done
It's the only place she feels alive
Like a moth to a flame, city lights pulled her in
Fought hard to turn those dreams into something real
As they slipped away, a will stretched too thin
She lost herself inside canyons of steel
CHORUS
She knows what a big mistake was made
The heart was right, the timing was wrong
When she's ready she'll come back this way
Make her mark, but home is where she belongs
CHORUS
She's a Plains Girl.
