[00:12.20]Dixie says that horses know her better than people do
[00:16.98]I've known Dixie seven years and I'd have to say it's true
[00:23.20]Once my sweetheart, now the sweetheart of the rodeo
[00:27.93]She heard the highway callin' with the meltin' of the snow
[00:33.56]And I tried, yes I tried to change her mind
[00:44.46]Dixie darlin' did you find what you were after
[00:49.35]A greener pasture, a wilder blue
[00:54.16]When I think about the things that really matter
[00:59.09]How I wish that I had mattered more to you
[01:17.99]Dixie came to see me on the day her daddy died
[01:22.91]Green eyes full of thunder and the tears she hadn't cried
[01:28.92]She asked if I would hold her and I held her all that week
[01:33.61]'Til she loaded up her saddle and she kissed me on the cheek
[01:39.49]And I tried, yes I tried to change her mind
[01:50.34]Dixie darlin' did you find what you were after
[01:55.23]A greener pasture, a wilder blue
[02:00.01]When I think about the things that really matter
[02:05.00]How I wish that I had mattered more to you
[02:26.35]Dixie called me late one night on Colorado time
[02:31.12]Told me she was two weeks late and she knew it must be mine
[02:37.19]I wanted to raise a family right here in this little town
[02:42.09]But in the end she wasn't ready to have a kid and settle down
[02:47.91]And I tried, yes I tried to change her mind
[02:59.34]Dixie darlin'did you find what you were after
[03:04.27]A greener pasture, a wilder blue
[03:09.11]When I think about the things that really matter
[03:14.04]I always wish that I had mattered more to you
