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
Oooh ooh
Just like them horses
Oooh ooh
Now it's time to run
