She was a beautiful girl
She was wild as the wind
On top of the world

Til she fell in love with him
Everyone told her that he was bad news
A boy goin nowhere ain't no good for you


Cause wild ponies are born to run
Don't you no wild ponies

Don't belong to no one
So baby, run
Run

Run away

The first time he hit her

Was right after church
He said he was sorry
But it only got worse

Now she's not the same girl
That she used to be
He's breakin her spirit

He's killing her dreams

Cause wild ponies are born to run

Don't you know wild ponies
Don't belong to know one
So baby, run

Run
Run away


She went out for groceries
Just an ordinary day
She realized she was just a block from the interstate

She sat at the stop light
The wheel in her hands
And when the light changed

She knew this was her chance

Wild ponies are born to run

Don't you know wild ponies
Don't belong to no one
Baby, run

Run
Run away
