Trailblazer

Everybody needs a hero
Somebody who can show 'em the ropes
You gave a match like me a little kerosene
With every song you wrote

I'm lucky to have someone to lean on
When the weeds get high
A little Louisiana twang and some Oklahoma rain
And a heart that just won't lie

Oh, I know a cowgirl
When I see one
And I'm sure proud to be one

Talk about a trailblazer
Cuttin' one path at a time
Runnin' like a dream chaser
Livin' on a prayer and a rhyme

You put a flag in the ground to a country sound
To the rhythm of your own highway
Talk about a trailblazer
I'm rollin' down the road you paved

I saw 'em on the Opry
I heard 'em on the radio
They taught me how to write, how to hold on tight
In this rhinestone rodeo

It was Dolly and Loretta
Patsy and Tammy, too
They gave me a seat at the table
So I'm savin' one for you

Talk about a trailblazer
Cuttin' one path at a time
Runnin' like a dream chaser
Livin' on a prayer and a rhyme

You put a flag in the ground to a country sound
To the rhythm of your own highway
Talk about a trailblazer
I'm rollin' down the road you paved

God said, "Let there be country music"
He made good ol' country girls like us to do it

Talk about a trailblazer
Cuttin' one path at a time
Runnin' like a dream chaser
Livin' on a prayer and a rhyme

You put a flag in the ground to a country sound
To the rhythm of your own highway
Talk about a trailblazer
I'm rollin' down the road you paved

Oh, thank you, trailblazers
I'm rollin' down the road you paved
