Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Childhood living
Is easy to do
The things you wanted
I bought them for you
[Verse 2]
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, yeah
Wild, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away, oh-oh
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Verse 3]
I watched you suffer
A dull, aching pain
Now you decided
To show me the same
[Verse 4]
No sweeping exits
Or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind
[Chorus]
Baby, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Yeah-yeah-yeah
[Verse 5]
I know I dreamed you
A sin and a lie, oh
I have my freedom, oh
But I don't have much time
[Verse 6]
Faith has been broken
Tears have been cried
Let's do some living
Before we die
[Chorus]
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
[Chorus]
Wild horses, ah
We will ride them some day
Yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
[Outro]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah
Wild horses, wild horses
