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      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      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      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
