Princess of the Prairie

Carly Ritter


Oh i don’t wear a crown that you can see
And the only gown i own,
My mama made when i was 17
No i sipper within my feet
No i go bare foot anyway
And my horse don’t have a cambridge
But oh he’s strong and brave

So you might look at me and
Not think much at all
You might think that castles
Only come big and tall
You might disagree with my mama
But we have all that we ever want
And you might laugh
That i do think these high and mighty thoughts

But when i walk though my kingdom
All the grass is brown
Birds announce my arrival
And when i leave the coyotes howl
I wave at my loyal trees
And they wave back with a breeze
Someday it seems the sunshine’s just for me
No one else knows
I’m a princess of this prairie

Daddy works so hard, i never did much
But when he came home
He rules this house with love
He and mama said there was nothing that i couldn’t do
That with one smile i could change the entire worlds

When i walk though my kingdom
All the grass is brown
Birds announce my arrival
And when i leave the coyotes howl
I wave at my loyal trees
And they wave back with a breeze
To me my mama and daddy are royalties
No one else knows
I’m a princess of this prairie

I’m telling you kings and queens
Don’t need diamonds and gold
It’s just something that you know
Deep down in your soul

When i walk though my kingdom
All the grass is brown
Birds announce my arrival
And when i leave the coyotes howl
I wave at my loyal trees
And they wave back with a breeze
I think it’s true
The greatest things in life
Can’t be seen
So why no one else knows
I’m a princess of this prairie
I’m a princess of this prairie
I’m a princess of this prairie
I’m a princess of this prairie
