lyrics

Well I guess I'm alright,
yeah I'm doing just fine
I've been making it day after day
I work nine to five and I come home alive
and I pay all the bills I can pay
Got a couple of horses that I never ride
and a guitar that I never play
but I guess I'm alright,
yeah I'm doing just fine
I just broke down and cried like a baby
when those horses of mine
they went running wild
yeah they busted right straight through the fence
and it occurred to me that a heart that's been broken
is something you choose how to mend
you can string it up strong
you can open the gates
you can build it so it never gives
just remember when mending your fences
that you're choosing how you want to live
let them hold, let them hold you strong
let them hold you together and hold you to where you belong
let them run
let them set you free
free as our hearts and all horses were born to be
well I guess I'll get by if you leave me behind
though I really do wish we could stay
here tracing the floors of sweet memory
oh the things I lived for yesterday
I never thought of the letters that I'd never write
the phone calls that I never made
and I wish I was holding your hand on the night
when you'd taken about all you could take

those horses of mine
they went running wild
yeah they busted right straight through the fence
and it occurred to me that a heart that's been broken
is something you choose how to mend
you can string it up strong
you can open the gates
you can build it so it never gives
just remember when mending your fences
that you're choosing how you want to live
let them hold, let them hold you strong
let them hold you together and hold you to where you belong
let them run
let them set you free
free as our hearts and all horses were born to be
I remember the way that you held me like god was within
and you loved me like,
like no one would ever love me again
you held onto my hand for the whole of my life
and the weight of my palm
oh it cuts like a knife
and I ache and I pain
and I feel like a child
feel the weight of my heart through my chest
running wild
for the stars
