She's a buckskin made of silk and steel Daughter of her Mother's heart Dyed 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 call of the wild and the solid earth beneath her feet
Seemed to complete her Let her see into her soul To pastures greener Where room enough to grow
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 can weave, we can mend Stitch by stitch, row by row Making sure there's room enough grow
Leaves were blowing on the pumpkins fattening in the field She saw a ‘we got apples' sign 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 the sun on hay
Through winter's hunger Spring and summer overflow With love free wander where there's room enough to grow
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 we can mend Stich by stich, row by row Making sure there's room enough to grow
Ohhhh
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 can mend Stich by row by row Making sure there's room enough to grow
