G                          C
I hear you talk about your childhood days
      Am                       C                   D
And a story you once told, how you were nine years old
G                        C
And all you wanted was a horse to ride
         Am                       C           D
But your mama never knew you'd be leavin' her behind

G                      C
It's no wonder why you roam
     G                 C
Wild horses always run free
          Am
And I can hear her now
   C                             D
As she walked the floor back and forth
G
Your mama should have bought you a rockin' horse

G                  C
I was warned about guys like you
    Am                     C        D
But girls like me, like to have fun too
G                  C
Holdin' on just as long as I can
Am                        C
Tryin' to keep you in one place
           D
And that's how it's always been

G                      C
It's no wonder why you roam
G                      C
Wild horses always run free
    Am
And I swear out loud
   C                          D
As I walk this floor back and forth
G
Your mama should have bought you a rockin' horse

G C C D

Am                   C      D
I can feel it in the chilly wind
Am                             C           D
It won't be long and you'll be coming home again

G                      C
It's no wonder why you roam
G                      C
Wild horses always run free
    Am
And I swear out loud
   C                          D
As I walk this floor back and forth
G
Your mama should have bought you a rockin' horse
