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