C G
She was a beautiful girl
F C
She was wild as the wind
C G
On top of the world
F C
Till she fell in love with him
F G
Everyone told her he was bad news
F G
A boy goin' nowhere ain't no good for you
(chorus)
C G F C
'Cause wild ponies are born to run
G
Don't ya know wild ponies
F C
Don't belong to no one
F G C
So baby run, run, run away
The first time he hit her
F
She went out for groceries
Just an ordinary day
G
She realized she was just
A block from the interstate
F
She sat at the stoplight
The wheel in her hands
G
And when the light changed
She knew this was her chance
