Running Wild

(Tom T. Hall - Alan Pace)



In the shadow of the saddle

Running wild and running free

In a herd of running mustangs

There's a part of you and me.



Broken spirit, broken promises

Make them fear the sight of man

In the shadow of the saddle

Lives the wild horse bronco band.



Call 'em cayuse, call 'em broncos

Call 'em mustangs, call 'em free

In the shadow of the saddle

Let them run boys, let them be.



--- Instrumental ---



We have changed the land and water

Just to fit our selfish needs

Now the shadow of the saddle

Falls across these gallant steeds.



Oh, the Spanish and the Indians

Gave them freedom in the sun

In the name of God and nature

Let them run boys, let them run.



Call 'em cayuse, call 'em broncos

Call 'em mustangs, call 'em free

In the shadow of the saddle

Let them run boys, let them be...
