soft place to fall

i rode off into the sunset the way cowboys always do

but ten miles west of fort worth my thoughts ran back to you

i could feel you there beside me taste your tender lips on mine

you know there'll always be another bronc but true love is hard to find

last night i found a soft place to fall loving arms to ease me down

to a big old feather bed instead of cold hard ground

i still love the rodeo but with you i can have at all

cause last night i found a soft place to fall

i've run wilder than the horses that i set out to ride

my freedom was the one thing i fought for all my life

but something in your gentle touch took the fight right out of me

i thought love was meant to tie me down but i've never felt so free

last night i found a soft place. cause last night i found a soft place to fall
