This song will forever be one of my favorite story songs that I have written. The first demo on this was tracked about 15 years ago, and was pretty heavy with fiddle and steel. Today we finished this new piano demo to pitch to artists like Randall King and Cody Johnson.

He’s felt the chill of city winds
And heat from desert roads
Thirty-one and fence rail thin
Still chasin’ rodeos
Each call home his mama scolds him
I never know where you are
I pray you’re OK and the right girl someday
Will cross your heart
He loves to feel that horse below
And hear the roar of a crowd
With every win he thanks his heros
To some he’s one now
An old cowboy told him once in Reno
Look at me and get smart
Don’t shut the gate on the trail love might take
To cross your heart
He’d started blamin’ the way he lives
For the lonesome achin’ in his arms
Cause lately he’s been wonderin’
Could someone ever cross his heart
She asked if he’d like one more cup
Before they closed for the night
Her sweet voice made him slowly look up
Into an angel’s eyes
Tailgate livin’ from an old Ford truck
Had started losin’ charm
You never know when things you can’t control
Will cross your heart
You never know when things you can’t control
Will cross your heart
