[Verse 1]
Honey i wear boots barefoot
Dust on my ankles, sun on my throat
Wear shorts underneath my dresses
I got a hard way, baby, I got a soft coat
I walk through sage and cactus
With a grin that says I know my road
[Pre-Chorus]
I cry out past the wash
Where the pines lean in to hear
If the hills got a name for me
They been callin' it all year
[Chorus]
I speak to nature
Nature speaks back
I speak to nature
And it answers like that
Honey i wear boots barefoot
Shorts under my dress
I speak to nature
And it knows the rest
[Verse 2]
Mountain lions on the far ridge
They come runnin' when I call
They look into my eye and stare hard
Then they move on, one and all
I don't flinch, I don't fold
I was born with the creek in my bones
When the dark rolls over pasture
I still know my way home
[Pre-Chorus]
I cry out past the wash
Where the jackrabbits freeze in fear
If the world wants a wild girl
I been standin' right here
[Chorus]
I speak to nature
Nature speaks back
I speak to nature
And it answers like that
Honey i wear boots barefoot
Shorts under my dress
I speak to nature
And it knows the rest
[Bridge]
Tell the county I’m okay
Tell the fence lines not to lean
I got mud on my hem tonight
And a sky that’s all I need
If the moon gets low and lonely
I’ll be out where the coyotes sing
With my palms turned to the canyon
And the whole damn valley listening
[Chorus]
I speak to nature
Nature speaks back
I speak to nature
And it answers like that
Honey i wear boots barefoot
Shorts under my dress
I speak to nature
And it knows the rest
