[Verse 1]

From a phone booth in Cheyenne

I made a promise to Diane

No more rodeos

I'd gone my last go-'round

The same promise that I made

In San Antone and Santa Fe

But tonight I saddled up

And let her down

[Chorus]

Wild horses keep draggin' me away

And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday

Wild horses just stay wild, and her heart is all I break

Wild horses keep draggin' me away

[Verse 2]

She'll watch me drive around her block

Gettin' courage up to stop

To make her one more promise

That I can't keep

The way I love the rodeo

I guess I should let her go

Before I hurt her more

Than she loves me

[Chorus]

Wild horses keep draggin' me away

And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday

Wild horses just stay wild, and her heart is all I break

Wild horses keep draggin' me away

[Outro]

Wild horses keep draggin' me away

And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday

Wild horses just stay wild, and her heart is all I break

Wild horses keep draggin' me away
