Just Like Them Horses

She held him close, then she kissed his face

He said it just has to be this way

Yours is the heart I'll always keep

I'm not gone even if I leave

If you love me, don't you be afraid

To look in my eyes and open up the gate

Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun

Just like them horses

When it's time to run

He said, Rocky Mountain is calling me

Gonna take a walk up where I can sing

Turn and face that western wind

Oh, and I'll be home again

If you love me, don't you be afraid

To look in my eyes and open up the gate

Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun

Just like them horses

When it's time to run

Oh, just like them horses

She held his hand, he took one last breath

Then she walked out to the front porch step

Stared at the sky, tears on her face

And she swore she could hear him say

If you love me, don't you be afraid

To look in my eyes and open up the gate

Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun

Just like them horses

When it's time to run

Just like them horses

When it's time to run

When it's time to run

When it's time to run

Now it's time to run

Just like them horses, ooh

Just like them horses

Oh, now it's time to run...
