Wild Horse (717 Tapes)

Well, it's time to move along, I guess
Everythin' I love I leave behind
Standin' 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 comin' back again

This cowboy's all alone
Ridin' down that old two-lane
The whiskey goes down slow
So close your eyes and grab the reins

All thе miles and the tears, through thе long hard years
Like a dust storm, I'm headin' north
Spent my life chasin' 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
Somethin' that can't be found

This cowboy's all alone
Ridin' 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 headin' north
Spent my life chasin' a wild, wild horse!

22 years ridin' back and forth
I threw it all away on a wild horse

This cowboy's all alone
Ridin' 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 headin' north
Spent my life chasin', oh, a wild, wild horse

It's time to move along, I guess
Everythin' I love I leave behind
