So you finally found your acres full of wild horses.
So you’ve saddled up and you’re riding them all night
Through the valleys and up over all the mountains
And it seems that they’re not putting up a fight.
Do you remember saying you could judge a man without him knowing.
Don’t even need to hear him talk.
Just say ‘hi, what’s your name and what’s your star sign?’
Then walk away saying ‘We’re not aligned’
You’ve been riding on that superstition highway,
Hoping to feel the wind in your face.
Asking yourself ‘why won’t anybody see it my way?’
Just not seeing that you won’t let anybody join the race.
And now you’re trying to lose some stranger sleeping on your floor.
Wants you to help kick-start his life
He arrived with just a suitcase and a world of trouble,
But he won’t leave until the signs are right.
