[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Morning in my hands
You’re chewing on my jacket sleeve
Like you’ve got other plans
That tangle in your forelock
Those curious dark eyes
You nudge the gate, you test the rope
You’re always chasing skies
[Chorus]
Run, little Thunder, run
Kick up the day and the dirt as one
Leave every fence behind you
Like it never was there at all
Run, little Thunder, run
Heart like a drum in the rising sun
I swear I see you flying
Every time you almost fall
[Verse 2]
You spook at plastic bags
But stand when storms roll in
You steal the apples from my coat
Then come back close again
We circle ‘round the pasture
Your breath warm in the cold
You’re half wild dream, half clumsy foal
Too young to know you’re bold
[Chorus]
Run, little Thunder, run
Kick up the day and the dirt as one
Leave every fence behind you
Like it never was there at all
Run, little Thunder, run
Heart like a drum in the rising sun
I swear I see you flying
Every time you almost fall
[Bridge]
One day you’ll carry
More than just my hand
Dusty roads and long-lost names
Tracks across the land
[Chorus]
Run, little Thunder, run
Kick up the day and the dirt as one
Leave every fence behind you
Like it never was there at all
Run, little Thunder, run
Heart like a drum in the setting sun
If you keep on chasing sky
You’ll teach me how not to stall
