Fox On The Fence Line

[Verse 1]
Boot in the stirrup
Coffee in my hand
Same dusty trail
Same piece of land
Then a ginger streak
Shoots across my way
That little fox grins
Like, “Let’s ruin your day” (hey!)
[Chorus]
She’s a fox on the fence line
Trouble in a tail and a tan dirt stripe
Kicking up chaos on my morning ride
Stealing my hat, my heart, my pride
Every gate, every creek, every barbed wire sign
There she is again, runnin’ laps through my mind
Lord, I’m late but I’m laughin’ half the time
Chasin’ that fox on the fence line
[Verse 2]
She spooks my mare
With a pop from the brush
I’m sideways in the saddle
Tryin’ not to cuss
She darts through the herd
Makes the heifers all spin
I’m apologizing
To the neighbor again (I swear!)
[Chorus]
She’s a fox on the fence line
Trouble in a tail and a tan dirt stripe
Kicking up chaos on my morning ride
Stealing my hat, my heart, my pride
Every gate, every creek, every barbed wire sign
There she is again, runnin’ laps through my mind
Lord, I’m late but I’m laughin’ half the time
Chasin’ that fox on the fence line
[Bridge]
One day there’s silence
No rust in the grass
No flash of red
No smart-aleck sass
I ride that trail slow
Call her name like a friend
Then she drops my glove
At my boot again (gotcha!)
[Chorus]
She’s a fox on the fence line
Trouble in a tail and a tan dirt stripe
Kicking up chaos on my morning ride
Stealing my hat, my heart, my pride
Every gate, every creek, every barbed wire sign
There she is again, runnin’ laps through my mind
Guess this wild little circus is by design
Me and that fox on the fence line

Fiddle and lap steel add quick, playful fills between vocal phrases. Verses stay tight and story-focused; chorus jumps with stacked harmonies and stomps.
