| She held him close, then she kissed his face
|
| He said it just has to be this way
|
| Yours is the heart I’ll always keep
|
| I’m not gone even if I leave
|
| If you love me, don’t you be afraid
|
| To look in my eyes and open up the gate
|
| Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun
|
| Just like them horses
|
| When it’s time to run
|
| He said, Chockie Mountain is calling me
|
| Gonna take a walk up where I can see
|
| Turn and face that western wind
|
| Oh, and I’ll be home again
|
| If you love me, don’t you be afraid
|
| To look in my eyes and open up the gate
|
| Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun
|
| Just like them horses
|
| When it’s time to run
|
| Oh, just like them horses
|
| She held his hand, he took one last breath
|
| Then she walked out to the front porch step
|
| Stared at the sky, tears on her face
|
| And she swore she could hear him say
|
| If you love me, don’t you be afraid
|
| To look in my eyes and open up the gate
|
| Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun
|
| Just like them horses
|
| When it’s time to run
|
| Just like them horses
|
| When it’s time to run
|
| When it’s time to run
|
| When it’s time to run
|
| Now it’s time to run
|
| Just like them horses, ooh
|
| Just like them horses
|
| Oh, now it’s time to run… |
