intro: verse: i tried to warn myself but i wouldn't listen i could not hide from her her intentions i could not stop myself i knew it was wrong but some things they just pull you to the great unknown she is like a wild horse nobody's ridden then when she came to me i was ready, she was willin' then i took her out straight into the sun and i took her down to where the wild ones run (outro only) and i always remember where the wild ones run verse: well she trembled when i touched her and her heart beat so wild and i watched how she faded into a woman from a child and when she held onto me i could tell she didn't know that the heat fades fast and the heart breaks slow (Chorus) bridge: she came to view me the same old way fills her eyes up with questions i got answers i can't say and everytime i tell her what i already know is that you can't come back from where the wild ones go (Chorus)
