How You Heal Lyrics

Verse 1:
You could see the hurt in the cowboy's eyes
Like a thunderhead in a clear blue sky
Twas a lonesome winter and a cold late Spring
Now it's time to heal when the grass turns green
At the brandin' pen ‘neath the snowy peak
On the reservoir road toward Otter Creek
Swing a leg on a bronc; feel the mountain wind
Build a big wide loop and let the fun begin

Chorus:
That's how you heal a cowboy's heart
Drag a slick new calf to the brandin' fire
Thank the Lord above that you're where you are
That's how you heal a cowboy's heart

Verse 2:
He was his youngest son; he was a damn good hand He was just a boy but so much a man
And there will always be an emptiness inside
All a man can do is saddle up and ride

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
There is healing in the mountain's church
There is peace for the hearts that hurt
There are pardners all you that you can and cannot see
Taste the dust, smell the sage, let it be
Final Verse
In the rearview mirror as you drive away
Stands a memory of a sacred day
A field of branded calves means a brand new start
That's how you heal a cowboy's heart
That's how you heal a cowboy's heart
