Horse Sense
I've been worried since I've heard
Of Alexander's escape.
I knew the Marshall
believes him dead
I don't trust in fate.
Puzzling this
I'd seen something strange
Lady was loose and headed
Out on the range.

She snuck right by me
Where was Knight
Something was wrong
Something was definitely
Not right.
I get to the forge,
It's as busy as can be
But I grabbed hold of Petra,
"Sorry everyone,
She'll be back in a minute
You'll see."

"Brody, why are you dragging me away?"
"Is Bella here?"
"No, I haven't seen her all day."
"Why did you let Lady free?"
"I didn't I just let her out of the stall.
She was making such a ruckus
I figured she wanted to stretch her
Legs is all."

"She just walked right by me!"
"What?!"
"She was headed out of town.
Do you mind if I borrow Knight?
I fear something bad has gone down."
"Sure, no problem. I have to get back
If I keep those customers waiting anymore
They'll have me strung on a wrack."
"Thank you, Petra."
To Knight, I went to see.
Bringing him an apple
I still wasn't certain he liked me.

"I know you and Bella
Have a connection I don't understand
But I gotta tell ya, boy, your girl has
Taken off towards desert sands."
"Bella is nowhere to be found.
Alexander is still out there
And I gotta know where she's bound."

I saddled him up, he looked as
Ready as could be.
"Let's go bring our girls home
You with me?"
Brody couldn't believe he was
Talking to a steed
But desperate times
Creates desperate needs.
Knight reared up on his haunches
Right before he launches
Into a full gallop after Lady who left
Knowing just where to go
Hoping it wasn't too late
To fix this mess.
He didn't like the idea of being left behind.
Now he and Brody
had their girls to find.
