[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
