Wild Horses
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Childhood living is easy to do 

The things you wanted I bought them for you 

Graceless lady you know who I am 

You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 

Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

 

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain 

Now you decided to show me the same 

No sweeping exits or offstage lines 

Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

 

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 

Wild, wild horses, couldn't drag me away

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie 

I have my freedom but I don't have much time 

Faith has been broken, tears must be cried 

Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 

Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day

Wild horses couldn't drag me away 

Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day
