Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Childhood living
Is easy to do
The things you wanted
I bought them for you
Graceless lady
You know who I am
You know I can't let you
Slide through my hands
[Chorus]
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
[Verse 2]
I watched you suffer
A dull, aching pain
Now you decided
To show me the same
No sweeping exits
Or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind
[Chorus]
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
[Verse 3]
I know I dreamed you
A sin and a lie
I have my freedom
But I don't have much time
Faith has been broken
Tears must be cried
Let's do some living
After we die
[Chorus]
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
We'll ride them some day
[Chorus]
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
We'll ride them some day
Written by: Michael Phillip Jagger, Keith Richards
