Runaway Horses

(Oh my heck, so yeah, the youth stamped, I mean that's a tradition for sure) (Umm, one year we were, it was raining all like all stampedes) (And this horse come out and everyone, you know, said it was supposed to be the best) (And it fell in the mud and mean you can see it's leg just totally snapped) (It was just hanging there and the girl you know, laid down) (It was the saddest thing I mean, I think most of the crowd was crying) (She set up and laid over her horse and just cried and huged her horse and) ('Cause she knew that, you know, that was her last moments with that horse) 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 weddings rings and rent Invitations sent of you and him by a barn out on the edge of town Small town girl, 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 --- Runaway Horses - The Killers and Phoebe Bridgers
