| 100 horses raising the dust of the high Colorado desert... Now load em into trailers and move em down to Arizona for the winter, and ride thru the saguaro for a while. Is there a better way to live? The mountains of Arizona and Colorado surround me, and I can ride, I can ride these horses... |

| This song came from the road. It's for the musicians who play in every honky tonk, roadhouse and county fair in the country. They play the music that folks fall in love to, dance to, party to... |

| I worked in the Bullpen Lounge in Nashville with a waitress named Shelley from some little town in east Texas. I used to sing the first two lines of this song to her long before I wrote the rest of it. If you're out there, Hi, Shelley. |
