Just Like Them Horses

[Verse 1]
She held him close, then she kissed his face
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
He said jockey mountain is callin' me
Gonna take a walk up where I can see
Turn and face that western wind
Oh and I'll be home again

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
