Verse 1

A           D       A
A dandelion born to ramble
A            D        A
Blowin' west from the Panhandle
D                      A
A daughter of the dust bowl
B                         E
With her heart out in the wind
A              D                    A
But a red dirt girl's got a one-way track
A            D                      A
From daddy's fields to the two-room shack
D                          A
The dust clouds turned her days to black
E                 A
And her nights to wonderin’

Verse 2

A                         D       A
Where a girl as wild as a western town
F#m                       E
Can saddle up, not settle down
A                            D
Grow as strong as a pinewood tree
          A           E A
Turn that red dirt to Evergreen

Verse 3

A dandelion born to ramble
Said to goodbye to the panhandle
Now she’s tall in the saddle
With her heart up in the wind

Verse 4

So here’s to all the red dirt gals
Who dreams of greener fields and how
They’ll never let them hold us down
Or try to fence us in
