He knew he wasn't perfect But he always did his best to try to get under the surface Not a saint, not a serpent He just wanted everyone to be impressed with him as a person So when she came along with the sunbeam Self-esteem stopped making nothing outta somethings Leaving the scene was unseen, I mean It was the first time he ever felt the need to keep the gun clean Do the math He knew he had to choose a path Gotta get that girl, gotta make her laugh Gotta shake the past and move forwards Gotta make this last, it feels gorgeous But she had a lover in the mid-west Never figured out how to get him off her thick chest Just like that everything is gone He didn't wanna but he had to learn the words so he could sing along Everything is all I have to give you And I'm afraid it ain't enough And you're not so young that you believe me Just because I say its love And even if they come to steal you tomorrow I'll know my smile was yours Go ahead and chase your dreams and your freedom Run, run wild wild horses You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses, no You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses Sometimes it can be so nice, right? Sometimes she feel herself turn into the wife type And when its dark, sometimes he's the nightlight But most of the time she doesn't even feel lifelike She got a man but he thinks hes a star And it feels like she has to compete with the bar She keeps up her guard but it seems so hard Mama never told her she would see those scars Every night he's out doing who knows whom While she cries along like a new show tune Last call passed, is he coming home soon? Or is he gonna run away with the dish and the spoon? She'll realize she don't want that clown Leave those shoes at the lost and found He won't catch on until shes not around After somebody else already locked that down We sing... Everything is all I have to give you And I'm afraid it ain't enough And you're not so young that you believe me Just because I say its love And even if they come to steal you tomorrow I'll know my smile was yours Go ahead and chase your dreams and your freedom Run, run wild wild horses You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses, no You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses He didn't want her to see him leave And he couldn't keep sitting there watching her sleep 'Cause he knows if he hangs out for a few hours He'll dig another hole trying to plant some new flowers But the sun don't shine under the table He's trying to hold his life together with staples No investment 'cause he's incapable And he's on the outro of being labeled available The word on the street is his girl's comin' back home No more alone, no more sad poems No after-bar calls to the cell phone Its time to walk a new path and grow a backbone Shoved into the big book of just friends Wondering how he would look as a husband And everyone of 'em he ever allowed to love him Now watching from the crowd tryin to be proud of him They say... Everything is all I have to give you And I'm afraid it ain't enough And you're not so young that you believe me Just because I say its love And even if they come to steal you tomorrow I'll know my smile was yours Go ahead and chase your dreams and your freedom Run, run wild wild horses You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses, no You can't tame these horses You can't tame these horses

Verse 1: The strangers faces do appear I startle when they come too near But angels have no fear (Angels have no fear) Although my quest is justified Love is strong and time is tight You ask me not to fight (You ask me not to fight) Chorus: Wild horses can keep me away My heart keeps longing for the day So why just hope and pray So why just hope and pray Wild horses can keep me away My heart keeps longing for the day So why just hope and pray So why just hope and pray Verse 1: The strangers faces do appear I startle when they come too near But angels have no fear (Angels have no fear) Although my quest is justified Love is strong and time is tight You ask me not to fight (You ask me not to fight) Chorus: Wild horses can keep me away My heart keeps longing for the day So why just hope and pray So why just hope and pray Wild horses can keep me away My heart keeps longing for the day So why just hope and pray So why just hope and pray Wild horses can keep me away My heart keeps longing for the day So why just hope and pray So why just hope and pray

(Hi yup! Hi yup! Hi yup!) It would take more than a pack of wild horses Pullin' your wagon to keep you from me It would take more than superior forces Even a dragon to keep you from me You can make fools out of other good guessers Put me in blinkers, I know where you'd be (Hi yup!) It would take schools of the finest professors Usin' their thinkers to keep you from me What a sight you are, how bright you are, you glow Take that sight away and right away I'd go (Hi yup!) Straight to your door over obstacle courses Maybe I'm braggin' but surely you'll see It would take more than a pack of wild horses Pullin' your wagon to keep you from me Nothin' could keep you from me!

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 horses couldn't drag me away I watched you suffer a dull, aching pain And now you've decided to show me the same No sweeping exits or offstage lines Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind Wild horses couldn't drag me away Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away Faith has been broken and 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, wild horses, we'll ride them someday Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them someday

You know I lost a friend The other day She said, she'd like to stay But she's on her way And I can't believe That she's leaving me And it's been so long goin' on Just can't be Well, it's happened before Well, I never dreamed It could happen with her All the same old scenes And it can't be true What's she trying to do Be the death of me Can't you see, just can't be What went wrong, well, you know I don't understand But it's done and you know I've done all I can So I'll say goodbye To these tears I've cried I will carry on, get along I won't ask why So I'll say goodbye To these tears, I've cried I will carry on, get along I won't ask why

Ramona come closer Shut softly your watery eyes The pangs of your sadness Shall pass as your senses will rise But the flowers of the city Thou breath like yet Death like thee at times There's no use in trying To deal with the dying Though I can not explain that in rhymes Your cracked country lips I still wish to kiss Have to be by the touch of your skin Your magnetic movements Still capture the moments I'm in It grieves my heart, love To see you trying To be a part of a world That just don't exist It's all just a scheme, babe A vaccum of dreams That sucks you into Feeling like this I've heard you say many times That your better than no one And no one is better than you If you really believe that You know you have nothing to win And nothing to lose From fixtures and forces and friends Your sorrow does stem They'll hype you and type A make you feel That you got to be just like them I'd forever talk to you But soon my words would turn Into a meaningless ring For deep in my heart There's no help I can bring Everything passes everything changes Just do what you think you should do Then someday maybe Who knows, baby I'll come and be crying to you

It's ten PM and I should have made the road tonight The moon was out and the clouds came in and took it's light My suitcase is over there somehow I just don't care Cause I don't want to be anywhere but right here tonight The rains came down and I should have made an early plane Where I'd rather be if it can't be seen then I can't explain It's so warm in here and I want to hold you near And there is no pain or fear right here tonight With tomorrows dawn I will carry on what I've set aside It's not a matter of my faith or of my pride It just seems so insane to strike out in the rain When it's so easy to remain right here tonight

R. Gibbs-B. Gibbs There's a light, a certain kind of light that never shone on me I want my life to be lived with you, lived with you. There's a way, everybody say, to do each and every little thing But what does it bring if I ain't got you, ain't got? Baby, you don't know what it's like Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you. In my brain, I see your face again, I know my frame of mind You ain't got to be so blind and I'm blind, so so so very blind. I'm a man, can't you see what I am? I live and breathe for you But what good does it do if I ain't got you, ain't got? Baby, you don't know what it's like Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you. You don't know what it's like Baby, you don't know what it's like To love somebody, to love somebody the way I love you. You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like To love somebody ...

A letter came today from the draft board With trembling hands I read the questionnaire It asked me lots of things about my mama and papa Now, that ain't what I call exactly fair So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town 'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground A sad old soldier once told me a story About a battlefield that he was on He said a man should never fight for glory He must know what is right and what is wrong So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town 'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground, oh, yeah Now, I don't know how much I owe my uncle But I suspect it's more than I can pay He's askin' me to sign a three-year contract I guess I'll catch the first bus out today So I'm headin' for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town 'Cause they don't need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground That tends to keep a good man underground
