"Runaway Horses II" lyrics

"Runaway Horses II"

Small town girl
Coca Cola grin
Honeysuckle skin
Born beneath the ready sign
Of a strawberry moon
Small town girl

Small town girl
Shows up for her friends
Crazy about The Bends
I was there when she first put away childish things
Small town girl

We had the wind in our heels
Unwavering forces

Just like runaway horses
In a fever till the end
Just like runaway horses
Every step is a silver prayer
In the face of a hard wind

You traded school
For weddings rings and rent
Invitations sent
Of you and him by a barn
Out on the edge of town
Small town girl

Small town girl
Put your dreams on ice
Never thinking twice
Some you'll surely forget
But there are some that you never will
Small town girl

We had the wind at our heels
Unraveling forces

Just like runaway horses
In a fever till the end
Just like runaway horses
Every step is a silver prayer
In the face of a hard wind
Just like runaway horses
In a fever till the end
Just like runaway horses
Every step is a silver prayer
In the face of a hard wind
