[Intro]
Run run, with her t-
Run run, with her t-
Run run, with her t-
Run run, with her t-
Run run, with her t-
Run run, with her t-
Run run, with her t-
Run run, with her t-

[Verse 1]
Run run, with her top down, baby, she flies
Run run, with the fury of a saint in her eyes
Run run, ha-cha cha cha, baby, she goes
With dark hair and a gun smoking under her toes

[Pre-Chorus]
Whoah-oo-woah-oo-woah
Whoah-oo-woah-oo-woah oh-oh-oo-oh
Ride ride, pony, ride ride
Whoah-oo-woah-oo-woah
Whoah-oo-woah-oo-woah oh-oh-oo-oh
Ride ride, pony, tonight

[Chorus]
We can be strong, we can be strong
Out on this lonely run, on the road to love
We can be strong, we can be strong
Follow that unicorn on the road to love

[Post-Chorus]
I'm on the road, I'm on the road to love
I'm on thе road, I'm on the road to love

[Verse 2]
She's just an Amеrican, riding a dream
When she's got a rainbow syrup in her heart that she bleeds
They don't care if your papers or your love is the law
She's a free soul burning roads, with a flag in her bra

[Pre-Chorus]
Whoah-oo-woah-oo-woah
Whoah-oo-woah-oo-woah oh-oh-oo-oh
Ride ride, pony, ride ride
Whoah-oo-woah-oo-woah
Whoah-oo-woah-oo-woah oh-oh-oo-oh
Ride ride, pony, tonight

[Chorus]
We can be strong, we can be strong
Out on this lonely run, on the road to love
We can be strong, we can be strong
Follow that unicorn on the road to love

[Post-Chorus]
I'm on the road, I'm on the road to love
I'm on the road, I'm on the road to love

[Bridge]
Get your hot rods ready to rumble
'Cause we're gonna fall in love tonight
Get your hot rods ready to rumble
'Cause we're gonna drink until we die
Get your hot rods ready to rumble
'Cause we're gonna fall in love tonight

[Outro]
Two, three, four
Run run, with her top down, baby, she rides

The Highwomen are a country supergroup formed by Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris, and Amanda Shires in 2019. The name of the project is a reference to the collaboration of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Willie Nelson called The Highwaymen, which was established in 1985.

Shires first came up with the idea for the group in 2016 as a response to how few women were being played on country radio. With help from producer Dave Cobb, she soon recruited Carlile and eventually rounded out the lineup with the additions of Morris and Hemby. The four first performed together at a celebration of country legend Loretta Lynn. Their first single, “Redesigning Women”, was released in July 2019. Their self-titled album was released on September 6, 2019.

The group considers the project a movement, not just a band. Carlile says, ”anyone can be a Highwoman. It’s about banding together, abandoning as much ego as humanly possible, holding one another up and amplifying other women every chance we get. Shoulder to shoulder. One push, one love."
