Dixie says that horses know her better than people do
     Am               Em                  Am               C
Well I've known dixie seven years and I'd have to say it's true
G               Bm              C                  G
Once my sweetheart, now the sweetheart of the rodeo
     Am               Em             Am            C
She heard the highway callin' with the meltin' of the snow
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am            D
I tried...
Am                D              G
Yes I tried... to change her mind

G     D                C                  G
Dixie Darlin', did you find what you were after
C         G
A greener pasture
G        D
A wilder blue...
G      D                C                  G
When I think about the things that really matter
C         G              D                Em   C
I always wish that I had mattered more to you

Dixie came to see me on the day her daddy died
Am                 Em              Am               C
Green eyes full of thunder and the tears she hadn't cried
    G                Bm             C                 G
She asked if I would hold her and I held her all that week
         Am            Em             Am               C
Till she loaded up her saddle and she kissed me on the cheek
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am            D
I tried...
Am                D              G
Yes I tried... to change her mind
 
[Chorus]
G     D                C                  G

Dixie called me late one night on Colorado time
Am              Em                     Am              C
Told me she was two weeks late and she knew it must be mine
  G                 Bm            C                   G
I wanted to raise a family, right here in this little town
    Am             Em                     Am             C
But in the end she wasn't ready to have a kid and settle down
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am            D
I tried...
Am                D              G
Yes I tried... to change her mind

I always wish that I had mattered more to you
