Childhood living 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

Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain

Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exit or offstage line
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind


Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away


I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom, but I don't have much time

Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die


Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday
