Where the Wild Horses Run Through Roses

Verse

Out past the fence where the barbed wire bends,

There’s a dirt road hummin’ like an old-time friend,

Wild roses grow where the creek bed lies,

Petals red as a Texas sunset sky.

I hear thunder but the clouds are clear,

It’s just hooves on the ground gettin’ closer here,

Manes like fire in the evening sun,

Lord, that’s freedom when the horses run.

Chorus

Where the roses grow and the horses fly,

Through the tall green grass and the endless sky,

No reins, no rules, just a heart undone,

In the wind and the dust till the day is done.

If heaven’s real, well I suppose

It’s where the wild horses run through roses.

Verse

Mama said love’s like a stubborn mare,

Can’t break it fast, gotta treat it fair,

I learned that truth on a lonely ride,

With a thorn in my hand and hope in my eyes.

Some blooms fade, some storms roll in,

Some trails end where they begin,

But there’s a place where the hurt feels small,

When the night birds sing and the coyotes call.

Chorus

Where the roses grow and the horses fly,

Through the tall green grass and the endless sky,

No reins, no rules, just a heart undone,

In the wind and the dust till the day is done.

If heaven’s real, well I suppose

It’s where the wild horses run through roses.

Bridge

I’ve been thrown, I’ve bled, I’ve lost my way,

Chased a few dreams that wouldn’t stay,

But every scar just reminds me why

I still believe when I look outside.

Chorus

Where the roses grow and the horses fly,

Under stars stitched in a midnight sky,

If I’m ever lost or feel too small,

I’ll follow the sound of that freedom call.

Lay me down when the night comes close,

Where the wild horses run through roses.
