Wild Horses

WILD HORSES
Words and Music by John Ford Coley

We'd sit by the fire ring you'd spell out your dreams
There was just so much inside you
The big sky above us
Heard every word left unsaid.

The wide world before us was our only aim
We both knew what we wanted
Knowing one way or the other
We knew we'd go full steam ahead

They said we're like wild horses
Untamed and free
Wild horses
Unbroken were we
Like wild horses
Chasing the sun
We were born needing to run

We longed for open spaces, bigger and better things
Family and friends tried to rein us
But corrals and fences and uncrossable streams
Break your soul

They said we're like wild horses
Untamed and free
Wild horses
Unbroken were we
Like wild horses
Chasing the sun
We were born needing to run

There was no you or me
There was just we
Truer than we had intended
For dreamers like us
The road never ends
A lifetime to find it
But then again we're like wild horses
We were like wild horses
Untamed and free
Wild horses
Unbroken were we
Like wild horses
Running and free
Wild horses
Unbridled were we
Like wild horses
Chasing the sun
We were born needing to run

We were born needing to run
