In the Arizona sunlight In the Colorado moonlight When she gets there it's gonna feel alright Now she's feeling so tired She got her big bay horse The one she calls the Rolling Sun The hard running faithful one Out in front of all the rest She's a barrel racing angel Out there somewhere in the west Well I wish you could've seen them At the short go in Cheyenne Old Sunny's rolling like a thunderstorm Fast as lightning on the plain Now they're tired and sore But they gotta go some more On the road to Las Vegas There is no place to rest She's a barrel racing angel Out there somewhere in the west

Cowgirls are special when they follow their dreams Every race is a brand new start Some are running for the sake of running Some are running from a broken heart Just one thing you gotta 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 Rolling Sun Out among the stars Ahead of all the rest She's a barrel racing angel Out there somewhere in the west She's a barrel racing angel Out there somewhere in the west
