VERSE 1: I'LL TELL YOU ALL A STORY OF THE FILLY AND THE FARM
ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL WHO SPENT HER DAYS OUT IN THE BARN
A SKINNY, LITTLE PONY AND A SKINNY, LITTLE GIRL
WHO NEVER DREAMED THAT THEY WOULD SOON BE TAKING ON THE WORLD
ONE DAY THE COUNTY SENT A MAN WHO WORE A CITY HAT
HE SAID WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE THIS FARM IF YOU DON'T PAY THE TAX
HE SLAMMED THE DOOR AND DROVE AWAY AND SAID YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
WE'LL ALSO TAKE THAT FILLY IF WE FIND HER IN THE BARN

CHORUS: RUN GIRL SHOW THE CROWD YOUR HEELS
YOU GOTTA RUN THERE AIN'T NO TIME TO PLAY
RUN GIRL RUN YOU'RE THE FASTEST IN THE FIELD
IF WE DON'T WIN THIS RACE THEY'RE GONNA TAKE THE FARM AWAY

VERSE 2: WELL IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THERE WAS A HORSE RACE COMING UP
A BIG RACE AT THE FAIRGROUNDS GIVING MONEY AND A CUP
THE LITTLE GIRL SAID WE CAN WIN AND BEAT 'EM FAIR AND SQUARE
THEY CAN'T TAKE THE FARM 'CAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE
WELL EVERYBODY LAUGHED AND SAID THAT FILLY CANNOT WIN
THAT LITTLE GIRL AND PONY CANNOT BEAT THE BIG OLE MEN
THE CROWD ALL STARTED LAUGHING AS THEY RODE OUT ON THE TRACK
THE GIRL SAID WE ARE HERE NOW AND THERE A'INT NO TURNING BACK

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: THE GIRL LEANED DOWN AND WHISPERED SOMETHING IN THE FILLY'S EAR
WHO ARCHED HER NECK AND PRANCED UNTIL THE CROWD LET OUT A CHEER
THEY'RE OFF SOMEBODY SHOUTED AND THE CROWD ROSE TO IT'S FEET
EVERYBODY SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER SEEN THE BEAT
WITH GOLDEN CURLS A'FLYING AND THE DIRT ALL IN THEIR EYES
YOU NEVER SAW A BUNCH OF HORSES WHO WERE SO SURPRISED
THE RACE IS WON THE STORY'S DONE AND NO ONE CAME TO HARM
AND THAT IS HOW THE LITTLE GIRL AND FILLY SAVED THE FARM
