Wild Horses lyrics

Verse 1

Poor boy Peter didn't know how

To claim his miracle, lost his way

Cost him dearly, like his Dad

And he lost his pride to end this way

Chorus

It's taken a long time (Woo Woo)

The wild horses wouldn't take me back to you (Woo Woo)

Get outta town and take your lazy dog with you

Your train is running late and overdue (Woo Woo)

Verse 2

I was trying to sedate him, trying not to blow

Trying not to hate him, but time was as blatant as gold

Wouldn't you know

He was clean outta feelings, nothing to say

Rings on his fingers were fake as the kisses he gave

I said have it your way

Verse 3

I'm just a crazy fool

Took my time thought I'd be sane, oh

I said I felt a cold

Ain't got love to choose, oh oh baby

I shouldn't have lost my head

Shouldn't have lost the meaning that I said, yeah yeah

I could have brought you home

Get you back to what we both know, yeah yeah

Oooh did I miss my cue, did ya back a fool

It's what you thought of me, oh baby

Chorus

It's taken a long time (Woo Woo)

The wild horses wouldn't take me back to you (Woo Woo)

Get outta town and take your lazy dog with you

Your train is running late and overdue (Woo Woo)

Verse 4

This place, of crazy town

Too much time for girls to feel strange, yeah

Take back your lazy hugs

There'll never be enough, no oh babe

I shouldn't have lost my head

Shouldn't have lost the meaning that I said, yeah yeah

I could have brought you home

Get you back to what we both know, yeah yeah

Oooh did I miss my cue, did ya back a fool

It's what you thought of me, oh baby

Chorus

It's taken a long time (Woo Woo)

The wild horses wouldn't take me back to you (Woo Woo)

Get outta town and take your lazy dog with you

Your train is running late and overdue (Woo Woo)
