 (Verse 1)
 D                Em    
 In the Arizona sunlight
                    D     
 In the Colorado moonlight
                             Em         
 When she gets there, gonna feel alright
                      D   
 Now she's feelin so tired
             Bm            
 She got her big bay horse,
                    G        
 One she calls the Rollin Sun
                    Em         
 The hard-running faithful one,
                          A   
 Out in front of all the rest.
 
 (Chorus)
                         D  
 She's a barrel racing angel
 G                           D   
 Out there somewhere in the west.
 
 (Verse 2)
 
 Well I wish you could have seen them
 At the short go in Cheyenne,
 Ol' Sun he's rollin like a thunderstorm
 Fast as lightning on the plains.
 Now they're tired and sore
 But they gotta go some more.
 On the road to Las Vegas
 There is no place to rest.
 
 (Repeat Chorus)
 (Bridge)
 G                                                  
 Cowgirls are special when they follow their dreams.
                            D    
 Every race is a brand new start.
            G                             
 Some are running for the sake of running.
                                 D    
 Some are running from a broken heart.
 
 (Verse 3)
 
 Just one thing you got to know
 You can't hold her, you gotta let her go
 You can't catch a silhouette
 She's like ice; She's like fire.
 They're gonna fly as one
 She and Rollin Sun
 Out among the stars
 Ahead of all the rest
 
 (Repeat Chorus)
