Verse 1

Born with the wind in her hair

Wild as a wide open range

She’s striking, yeah, she’s lightning out the gate

There’s a trail of lonely cowboys

She’s left in her in her wake

So before you bet your heart you better wait

 

Chorus 1

You can’t hold her horses

So boy don’t even try

You ain’t got no choice in

The day she says goodbye

I know you wanna keep her

But she ain’t the keeping kind

You won’t fence her in when she’s ready to ride

You can’t hold her horses

 

Verse 2

Held on bout as long as I could

Chasing the stars in her eyes

Never thought she’d be gone by the next sunrise

Me begging her to stay was a waste of time

 

Chorus 2

You can’t hold her horses

So boy don’t even try

You ain’t got no choice in

The day she says goodbye

I know you wanna keep her but she ain’t the keeping kind

You won’t fence her in when she’s ready to ride

Even if she’s holding on to you tonight

You can’t hold her horses
