Wild Horse (717 Tapes)

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 thunder, flies like the wind
Out where the river don't end
I 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 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
Was born into a lifelong 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 her
No one can tame something 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
Twenty-two 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' ooh a wild wild horse
It's time to move along I guess
Everything I love, I leave behind
