[Verse 1]
I was born to a pioneer woman
And a Rocky Mountain mountain man
They named me Samantha Rosie-Anna
But I told ‘em I go by Sam
Had spurs on my boots, a whip in my hand
Didn't wail or scream or cry
I come out a ridin' a panther
Ropin' a twister outta the sky
My pillow is the Big Horn Mountains
I use a blanket of snow if I gotta
I lay my hat down in Montana
And my boots in Colorada
When I start to get tired
Which happens ‘bout once a week
I blow out the moonlight
And sing the wolves to sleep

[Chorus]
Sure I might be tall talkin', loud squawkin'
Gotta tell it tall, to tell it right
Showboatin', misquotin'
My tall tales are larger than life

[Verse 2]
I out ran old Davy Crockett
From Oregon to Delaware
Cuz I'm half horse, half mountain lion
Half grizzly bear
I won an arm wrestlin' match
Against the legendary Pecos Bill
He said, "that gal's got more grit
Than anyone ever will"
[Chorus]
Sure I might be tall talkin', loud squawkin'
Gotta tell it tall, to tell it right
Showboatin', misquotin'
My tall tales are larger than life

[Verse 3]
But there's one thing that's for certain
And I'm sure you'll think it's so
There's too much in this old world
Even a girl like me don't know
Like how some little stream
Carved out one big ol' canyon
Or how a fire's angry flame
Can be your best companion
Why lookin' up at the stars
Will always make you feel small
And why just telling the truth
Ain't tellin' the whole story at all

[Chorus]
That's why we're always tall talkin' loud squawkin'
Gotta tell it tall, to tell it right
So, if you got a tale to tell, talk it tall , to tell it right
Showboatin', misquotin'
My tall tales are larger than life
