"Room to Grow" by Adrienne Young

She's a buckskin baby made of silk and steel
Daughter of her Mother's heart
With a Daddy in the wool
Future farmer of a brand new start
She could've been a supermodel or a rich man's queen
Livin up on easy street
But the call of the wild
And the solid earth beneath her feet
Seemed to complete her, let her
See into her soul
Where to pastures greener
Where there's room enough to grow

Well it's back to where the red fern knows

The sweetness of the mountain rose
And the land she laughs at all this wood and wire
We all outgrow the skin we're in
But we can weave, we will mend
Our stitch by stitch, row by row
We're making sure there's room enough to grow
Leaves were blowing in the pumpkins fattening in the field
She saw a 'we got apples' sign
Then turned down a road never knowing what she might find
He was sittin on his tractor when she caught his eye
He gave a wave and walked her way
He was all breath and britches, hair the color of the sun on hay
Through winter's hunger
Spring and summer overflow
With love free to wander where there's room enough to grow

Well it's back to where the red fern knows

The sweetness of the mountain rose
And the land she laughs at all this wood and wire
We all outgrow the skin we're in
But we can weave, we will mend
Our stitch by stitch, row by row
We're making sure there's room enough to grow
Leaves were blowing in the pumpkins fattening in the field
She saw a 'we got apples' sign
Then turned down a road never knowing what she might find
He was sittin on his tractor when she caught his eye
He gave a wave and walked her way
He was all breath and britches, hair the color of the sun on hay
Through winter's hunger
Spring and summer overflow

Room enough to grow
With love free to wander where there's room enough to grow
