Wild Horses

This comes from the 1990 album No Fences by the American country and western star Garth Brooks.  i used the title in my ‘Wild Horses. Trailriding in Australia (1)‘ article.  The link clicks through to a cover version.

 

From a phone booth in Cheyenne

I made a promise to Diane

No more rodeos

I’d gone my last go round.

 

The same promise that I made

In San Antone and Santa Fe

But tonight I saddled up

And let her down.

 

Wild horses keep draggin‘ me away

And I’ll lose more than I’m gonna win one day

Wild horses just stay wild

And her heart is all I break

Wild horses keep draggin’ me away.

She’ll watch me drive around her block

Gettin’ courage up to stop

To make her one more promise

That I can’t keep.

 

The way I love the rodeo

I guess I should let her go

Before I hurt her more

Than she loves me.

 

Wild horses keep draggin’ me away

And I’ll lose more than I’m gonna win one day

Wild horses just stay wild

And her heart is all I break

Wild horses keep draggin’ me away.

 

Wild horses keep draggin’ me away

And I’ll lose more tham I’m gonna win one day

Wild horses just stay wild

And her heart is all I break

Wild horses keep draggin’ me away.

 

Wild horses keep draggin’ me away.
