I tried to warn myself
But I wouldn't listen
And I could not hide from her

My intention
I could not stop myself
I knew it was wrong

But some things they just pull you
Into the great unknown


Chorus:
She is like a wild horse nobody'd ridden
Yeah when she came to me

I was ready, she was willing
And I took her out
Straight into the sun

And I took her down to where the wild ones run

Well she trembled when I touched her

And her heart beat so wild
And I watched as she faded
Into a woman from a child

And when she held onto me
I could tell she didn't know
That the heat fades fast

And the heart breaks slow

Repeat Chorus


Bridge:
She can't look at me the same old way

Fills her eyes up with questions
I got answers that I can't say
And every time I tell her, what I already know

Is that you can't come back
From where the wild ones go


Repeat Chorus 2X

I'll always remember where the wild ones run
