Wild Horse

Well, it's time to move along, I guess

Everything I love I leave behind

Standing in a field out west

One thing on my heart, one on my mind

She rolls like the thunder, flies like the wind

Out where the river don't end

I've burned all the bridges left in my life

Ain't coming back again

This cowboy's all alone

Riding down that old two-lane

The whiskey goes down slow

So close your eyes and grab the reins

All the miles and the tears, through the long hard years

Like a dust storm, I'm heading north

Spent my life chasing a wild, wild horse

Was born into a life-long curse

She whispers in my ear late every night

The liquor doesn't quench my thirst

It doesn't change a thing, how hard I fight

She's cold as a winter out on the plains

Like footsteps on frozen ground

Nothing can break, no one can tame

Something that can't be found

This cowboy's all alone

Riding down that old two-lane

The whiskey goes down slow

So close your eyes and grab the reins

All the miles and the tears, through the long hard years

Like a dust storm, I'm heading north

Spent my life chasing a wild, wild horse

22 years riding back and forth

I threw it all away on a wild horse

This cowboy's all alone

Riding down that old two-lane

Whiskey goes down slow

Close your eyes and grab the reins

All the miles and the tears, through the long hard years

Like a dust storm, I'm heading north

Spent my life chasing, oh, a wild, wild horse

It's time to move along, I guess

Everything I love I leave behind
