Chasin' Wild Horses

Intro:                 Guess it was somethin’ I shouldn’t have done   Guess I regret it now   Ever since I was a kid   Tryin’ to keep my temper down is like   Chasin’ wild horses chasin’ wild horses   Chasin’ wild horses   Left my home left my friends   I didn’t say goodbye   I contract out to the BLM Up on the Montana line   Chasin’ wild horses   Chasin’ wild horses We’re out before summer   In after sundown   There’s two men in the chopper   Two under saddle on the ground   In the evenings we’d hop in the pickup   Head into town for a drink   Make sure I work ’til I’m so damn tired   Way too tired to think   You lose track of time   It’s all just storms blowin’ through   You come rollin’ ’cross my mind   Your hair flashin’ in the blue   Like wild horses just like wild horses   Just like wild horses   Fingernail moon in a twilight sky   Ridin’ high grass of the switchback   I shout your name into the canyon   The echo throws it back   The winter snow whites out the plains   ’Til it can turn me blind   The only thing up here I’ve found   Is tryin’ to get you off my mind   Chasin’ wild horses chasin’ wild horses   Chasin’ wild horses chasin’ wild horses
