"Wild Horse (717 Tapes)" lyrics

Well, it's time to move along, I guess
Everything 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 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 the winter out on the plains
Like footsteps on frozen ground
Nothing can break her, 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

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'
Oh, a wild, wild horse

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