He knew he wasn't perfect   But he always did his best to get under the surface   Not a saint, not a serpent   He just wanted everyone to be impressed with him as a person   So when she came along with the sunbeam   Self-esteem stopped making nothing outta somethings   Leaving the scene was unseen, I mean   It was the first time he ever felt the need to keep the gun clean   Do the math   He knew he had to choose a path   Gotta get that girl, gotta make her laugh   Gotta shake the past and move forwards   Gotta make this last, it feels gorgeous   But she had a lover in the mid-west   Never figured out how to get him off her thick chest   Just like that everything is gone   He didn't wanna but he had to learn the words so he could sing along      (Chorus:)   Everything is all I have to give you   And I'm afraid it ain't enough   And you're not so young that you believe me   Just because I say it's love   And even if they come to steal you tomorrow   I'll know my smile was yours   Go ahead and chase your dreams and your freedom   Run, run wild wild horses   You can't tame these horses   You can't tame these horses, no   You can't tame these horses   You can't tame these horses      Sometimes it can be so nice, right?   Sometimes she feel herself turn into the wife type   And when it's dark, sometimes is the nightlife   But most of the time she doesn't even feel lifelike   She got a man but he thinks hes a star   And it feels like she has to compete with the bar   She keeps up her guard but it seems so hard   Momma never told her she would see those scars   Every night hes out doin who knows whom   While she cries along like a new show tune   Last call past, is he comin home soon?   Or is he gonna run away with the dish and the spoon?   She'll realize she don't want that clown   Leave those shoes at the lost and found   He wont catch on until shes not around   After somebody else already locked that down   We sing...      (chorus)      He didn't want her to see him leave   And he couldn't keep sittin there watchin her sleep   Cause he knows if he hangs out for a few hours   He'll dig another hole tryin to plant some new flowers   But the sun don't shine under the table   He's tryin to hold his life together with staples   No investment cause hes incapable   And hes on the outro of being labeled available   The word on the street is his girls comin back home   No more alone, no more sad poems   No after-bar calls to the cell phone   Its time to walk a new path and grow a backbone   Shoved into the big book of just friends   Wondering how he would look as a husband   And everyone of em he ever allowed to love him   Now watching from the crowd tryin to be proud of him   They say...      (chorus)
