Kenny Ray Horton: Music

Horses You Can't Tame

(Kenny Ray Horton)
Written by Kenny Ray Horton (Fader 4 Music)

This song started out I a more folk vein. Once I played it for Keith Arneson, he said try it like this and played me what he heard. This song went from a tune that was almost taken off of the record to one that I have really grown fond of.

Verse 1
She left sometime Thursday morning She’s been gone a couple days 350 horses in a jet black Mustang You ain’t gonna catch her There’s no way It’s always her way or the highway Usually it’s her that hits the road It’s always hard To love the wild ones Sometimes you just Gotta let ‘em go
Chorus
Those wild horses you can’t tame The ones that can’t be Tethered down They’ll drive a heart insane They’re just wild horses You can’t tame
Verse 2
Her green eyes Are from her mother Her auburn hair Is from her dad The locket around her neck Is empty Waitin on the love She’s never had
Verse 3
They get caught up In the midnight Just when the air holds a chill Thinkin bout the ones That they left behind Wonderin where they’d Be right now If they had just stood still
