She Wants to Ride

Eighteen, a young girl, graduates from school She's got the future to do the things she wants to do. Little did she know, she would let her heart give in The plans she made for life would change so she could be with him. A baby's born but she knows, their love is just not right, The pressure's on, is it right or wrong for her to change her life, Or should she stay committed and hold her feelings deep inside, Society has got her down and she wants to run wild. She wants to ride, a horse cross country She wants to feel, wind brush against her skin She needs to find, what she's been missing She wants to ride, until she finds herself again She got the courage up to go out on her own She took the little child and found them a new home She's working now, but it's so hard down at the factory. With little pay at the end of the day she can barely make ends meet. Years went by so quickly, though it seemed like time stood still Standing by her front door, she could feel the winter's chill. She looks to the horizon where she sees the setting sun She feels the urge inside her and it makes her want to run She wants to ride, a horse cross country She wants to feel, wind brush against her skin She needs to find, what she's been missing She wants to ride, until she finds herself again Even though she's had a rough life, She wouldn't trade it for the world The treasures that she owns lie in her little girl. And when she feels the old desires, That her troubles often bring She can go to bed at night and find them in her dreams, where She wants to ride, a horse cross country She wants to feel, wind brush against her skin She needs to find, what she's been missing She wants to ride, until she finds herself again Oh oh, she wants to ride Oh she wants to ride, she wants to ride, She wants to ride, she wants to ride She wants to ride until she finds herself again. --- She Wants to Ride - Anita Cochran
