| Born and raised in a motel in New Orleans
|
| I ran away with a hobo and his gypsy friends
|
| We rode a freight train up to Cleveland, across the Utah plains
|
| Proud men, troubadours torn and frayed
|
| Sleeping under the stars
|
| While gently strumming guitars
|
| Played the songs of Woddy Guthrie
|
| And the open road
|
| I knew right then I could never go home
|
| 'Cause the wild horse runs free forever
|
| Oh yeah, a wild horse runs free forever
|
| And ever and ever
|
| I met a girl from a family of position and wealth
|
| What a hand this rambler had been finally dealt
|
| A beauty six years and 10
|
| I felt the walls closing in
|
| Like a swollen river 'bout to overflow
|
| Like a losing gambler, I kept on rolling
|
| And a wild horse runs free forever
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| A wild horse runs free forever
|
| The wild horse runs free forever
|
| Yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| A wild horse runs free forever
|
| Play the guitar
|
| So understand I must go
|
| But I’ll drink you one last toast
|
| Oh, here’s to the heart
|
| And the hands of a man
|
| That come with the dust
|
| And are gone with the wind
|
| May the wild horse run free forever
|
| Yeah, the wild horse runs free forever
|
| The wild horse runs free forever
|
| Yeah, the wild horse run free forever
|
| Wild guitar, baby, come on, wild
|
| I know, I know, I know, I know
|
| Play it for me, come on
|
| Yeah, hit it. |
| Yeah yeah. |
| Let me hear it, yeah
|
| The wild horse run free … |
