letra de green heart - darrell scott

[verse 1]
i met her years ago one summer
she was working at a church camp up the boulder river
it was the first time i felt that aching wonder
it was the first time i felt i want to quiver
i went home for summer football
she went back to fallon county
she was the only thing i thought about
every minute every day
i tried to write her letters
i tried to keep her near me
but every time she wrote back
she was was farther away

[verse 2]
i played my last game in a loss against white sulphur
i went home that night
and i got ready for a ride
packed some clothes and some blankets in a thirty gallon garbage bag
was out before the daylight
with the barn door open wide

[chorus]
from stanford down through harlow
past baker to the north dakota line
i rode my sorrel gelding
and i’ll follow this green heart of mine

[verse 3]
big ponderosas the sweetness of the cottonwoods
beauty of a sunrise over miles and miles of sage
antelope and mule deer, white tail, and a touch of fear
a sea of prairie gr-sses
and a thousand birds of prey

[verse 4]
found pasture for my horse just out of baker
took a room there for the night
washed some clothes, shaved my face
i bought some roses at a florist there next morning
asked for directions and i rode out to her place

[verse 5]
i found her house and tied my pony to a tree
ran fingers through my hair
as i walked to the door
there she stood, i could see it wasn’t good
she gave a nervous laugh
said, “what did you come here for?”

[chorus]
from stanford down through harlow
past baker to the north dakota line
i rode my sorrel gelding
and i’ll follow this green heart of mine

[verse 6]
stopped at a ranch on powder river
i’d spend the night there on my way through
i called my father
said “bring the horse trailer
i wish to god i’d listened to you”

[verse 7]
nineteen days across montana
there was frost on every morning in that d-mn november wind
all of my life to do without her
and 400 miles just to turn back again
