Wild Horses

Lyrics

by the Rollingstones

childhood living
it’s easy to do
things that you wanted
i bought them for you

graceless lady
you know who i am
you know i can’t let you
slip through my hand
wild horses
couldn’t drag me away
wild, wild, wild horses
let ’em drag me away

and i watch you suffer
a dull aching pain
and now you decided
to show me the same
no sweeping minstrels
or off stage lines
could make me feel better
or treat you unkind
wild horses
couldn’t drag me away
wild, wild, wild horses
couldn’t drag me away

and i knew that i dreamed you
i sit and vow
i had my freedom
but i don’t have much time
wild horses
couldn’t drag me away
wild, wild, wild horses
you will ride them someday
