Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Childhood livin' is easy to do
The things that 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, yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away
[Verse 2]
I watched you suffer a dull, achin' pain
Now you decided to show me the same
But no sweepin' exits or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind, yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause wild horses, couldn't drag me away
'Cause wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away
[Verse 3]
'Cause I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
And I have my freedom, but I don't have much time
But faith has been broken, tears must be cried
So, let's do some livin' after love dies, yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause wild horses, couldn't drag me away
'Cause wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day
'Cause wild horses, couldn't drag me away
'Cause wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day
