[Verse 1]
Clock in, clock out
Same four walls, same doubt
Tiptoe ‘round a love gone cold
Afraid to speak, afraid to be bold
You roll your eyes when I try to talk
I watch my words like I watch my walk
Got a house, but it ain’t a home
Just a place I’m scared to be alone
[Chorus]
I wanna go where the horses roam free
Where happiness don’t cost a fee
Where love ain’t something that you beg
Where I’m not walking on one egg shell leg
Somewhere the sky’s big enough for me
Where I feel brave enough to just be me
I’m packing up what’s left of my belief
Headed where the horses roam free
[Verse 2]
Mama said, “Son, don’t you shrink that heart
For someone who tears you apart”
I’ve been living like I’m on your leash
Calling that surrender peace
But there’s a gate out past this town
Where the world opens up, and the night calms down
Where a man ain’t punished for his needs
Just for letting ‘em all bleed
[Chorus]
I wanna go where the horses roam free
Where happiness don’t cost a fee
Where love ain’t something that you beg
Where I ain’t crawling just to earn a kiss on the neck
Somewhere the sky’s big enough for me
Where I feel brave enough to just be me
I’m packing up what’s left of my belief
Headed where the horses roam free
[Bridge]
Maybe you’ll miss me, maybe you won’t (maybe you won’t)
But I’m tired of living as a footnote (oh)
I’d rather chase dust down an old dirt lane
Than drown one more night in your quiet disdain
[Chorus]
I’m gonna go where the horses roam free
Where happiness don’t cost a fee
Where love ain’t something that you beg
Where I can stand tall on two strong legs
Somewhere the sky’s big enough for me
Where I feel brave enough to just be me
I’ll lay this tired heart down in the breeze
Out there where the horses roam free
