Well, it's time to move along, I guess Everything I love I leave behind Standing in a field out west One thing on my heart, one on my mind She rolls like the thunder, flies like the wind Out where the river don't end I've burned all the bridges left in my life Ain't coming back again
This cowboy's all alone Riding down that old two-lane The whiskey goes down slow So close your eyes and grab the reins All the miles and the tears, through the long hard years Like a dust storm, I'm heading north Spent my life chasing a wild, wild horse
Was born into a life-long curse She whispers in my ear late every night The liquor doesn't quench my thirst It doesn't change a thing, how hard I fight She's cold as a winter out on the plains Like footsteps on frozen ground Nothing can break, no one can tame Something that can't be found
This cowboy's all alone Riding down that old two-lane The whiskey goes down slow So close your eyes and grab the reins All the miles and the tears, through the long hard years Like a dust storm, I'm heading north Spent my life chasing a wild, wild horse
22 years riding back and forth I threw it all away on a wild horse
This cowboy's all alone Riding down that old two-lane Whiskey goes down slow Close your eyes and grab the reins All the miles and the tears, through the long hard years Like a dust storm, I'm heading north Spent my life chasing, oh, a wild, wild horse
It's time to move along, I guess Everything I love I leave behind
