Bluegrass Foal Song

[Intro – gentle acoustic guitar strum, soft fiddle trill] Dawn breaks over the weathered fence Clover blooms where the colts once tense [Verse 1 – steady guitar, light foot-stomp rhythm] We pick the stock with the strongest bones Lines that’ve run through the mountain zones Mares with fire and stallions bold Raised to carry the stories told [Chorus – lively fiddle, group harmonies] We breed ’em tough, we breed ’em true Hooves that fly when the morning’s new Hearts like oak and spirits bright These are the horses that light the night [Verse 2 – banjo join-in, playful lilt] Spring brings foals with wobbly knees Chasing butterflies through the breeze We watch ’em grow through sun and rain Teach ’em to trust, teach ’em to gain [Chorus – amplified fiddle, foot-stomp clap] We breed ’em tough, we breed ’em true Hooves that fly when the morning’s new Hearts like oak and spirits bright These are the horses that light the night [Interlude – fiddle solo, bouncing banjo] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 3 – softer guitar, reflective tone] Some’ll race, some’ll pull the plow Some’ll carry the kids to town Each one’s a gift, each one’s a gem Raised with care, raised with them [Chorus – full ensemble, soaring vocals] We breed ’em tough, we breed ’em true Hooves that fly when the morning’s new Hearts like oak and spirits bright These are the horses that light the night [Outro – fading guitar, distant whinny] Dusk falls soft on the pasture green Foals sleep tight where the grass is clean
