Childhood livin' is easy to do
The things 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

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

I watched you suffer a dull achin' pain
Now you decided to show me the same
But no sweepin' 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

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie
I've got my freedom but I don't have much time
A faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some livin', after love dies

'Cause wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day
