I tried to warn myself
But I wouldn't listen
And I could not hide from her
My intention
I could not stop myself
I knew it was wrong
But some things they just pull you
Into the great unknown

Chorus:
She is like a wild horse nobody'd ridden
Yeah when she came to me
I was ready, she was willing
And I took her out
Straight into the sun
And I took her down to where the wild ones run

Well she trembled when I touched her
And her heart beat so wild
And I watched as she faded
Into a woman from a child
And when she held onto me
I could tell she didn't know
That the heat fades fast
And the heart breaks slow

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
She can't look at me the same old way
Fills her eyes up with questions
I got answers that I can't say
And every time I tell her, what I already know
Is that you can't come back
From where the wild ones go

Repeat Chorus 2X

I'll always remember where the wild ones run
