Thunder and Horses

Lyrics

Verse 1
Sun's on the cedar fence
Dust on my boots again
Old bay's tossin' her mane
Like she knows the wind can change
I grease up the feed truck door
Break ice from the water trough
Creek runs brown after rain
And the whole wide world feels clean

Pre-Chorus
Sky rolls low and dark
I can smell that storm
You can hear it out past the yard
Comin' in fast and warm

Chorus
Thunder and horses
Thunder and horses
Run wild, run free
That's where you find me
Thunder and horses
Thunder and horses
Under that open sky
I was born to ride

Verse 2
Mama waved from the porch
Said, "Boy, get that hay tied down"
We hauled it in by hand
'Fore the black cloud hit the ground
Then the first big rain came hard
Paintin' silver on the field
Bay mare danced through the mud
Like the land was made to yield

Pre-Chorus
And the fence-line flashed
In that white-hot seam
I felt ten feet tall
With the whole ridge under me

Chorus
Thunder and horses
Thunder and horses
Run wild, run free
That's where you find me
Thunder and horses
Thunder and horses
Under that open sky
I was born to ride

Bridge
When the night gets loud
And the world gets mean
I hear those hooves on the ground
Like a prayer through the trees
No city chain
No gate can hold
What runs in my blood
And the hills I know

Chorus
Thunder and horses
Thunder and horses
Run wild, run free
That's where you find me
Thunder and horses
Thunder and horses
Under that open sky
I was born to ride

Outro
Yeah, I was born to ride
Thunder and horses
