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
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
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
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
