Lyrics
Intro
steady acoustic guitar
Verse 1
Herd moves slow to the water’s edgeClear creek runs in the morning lightHorses step careful on the rocky ledgeCowboy guides them through the bright
Chorus
Creek crossing on the open rangeSimple work in the clear daylightCowboy skill that will never changeBringing them safe to the other side
Verse 2
Current pulls with a gentle forceCalves stay close in the steady lineSoft encouragement keeps the courseShared with the horse in the morning shine
Chorus
Creek crossing on the open rangeSimple work in the clear daylightCowboy skill that will never changeBringing them safe to the other side
Verse 3
Banks grow near as the feeling staysHerd moves up in the open glowCreek crossing marked in these range-born daysPart of the life that the cowboys know
Chorus
Creek crossing on the open rangeSimple work in the clear daylightCowboy skill that will never changeBringing them safe to the other side
Bridge
When the water rises and the path feels longCreek crossings keep the work made strongRiding quiet where the light first came
Outro
fading acoustic guitar
