Runaway Horses
Small-town girl
Coca-Cola grin
Honeysuckle skin
Born beneath the ready sign of a strawberry moon
Small-town girl
Shows up for her friends
Crazy about The Bends
I was there when she first put away childish things
We had spring in our heels
Unwavering forces
Headfirst into the unknown
Like runaway horses
In a fever 'til the end
And every step is a silver prayer
In the face of a hard wind
You traded school
For wedding rings and rent
Invitations sent
Of you and him by a barn
Out on the edge of town
Small-town girl
You put your dreams on ice
Never thinking twice
Some you'll surely forget
And some that you never will
There was a promise in our stride
But we changed courses
Headfirst into the unknown
Like runaway horses
In a fever ’til the end
And every step is a silver prayer
In the face of a hard wind
Like runaway horses
It's a long way back home again
When every step is a silver prayer
In the face of a hard wind
