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

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

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

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

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

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