Lyrics
In a curl and watching TV late
Seen a girl a pigtails and braids
And I thought, man, that was you
She even kinda looked like you
Busting with hopes and dreams and such
Don't imagine she needed much
Just to sing, and laugh and play
Just needs her prince to come someday
On a good horse
Strong and wild and free
They could share the best and worst and keep good company
They could ride for miles
Smile and rest beneath a tree
I'm guessing that girl is you
And hoping the hero is me
See the boy in a record shop
Tumbling through the choices they got
He's thinking,man, I need something new
He just needs to find a girl like you
With a pure heart
Strong and wild and free
He could help her turn the earth
Root their family
Offer a lifetime of gathering what she needs
I'm guessing that girl is you
And hoping the hero is me
I'm hoping that girl is you
And maybe this is your dream too
I'm guessing the girl is you
And hoping
The hero is me
The hero is me
The hero is me
