I used to run just like a mustang

with my head down in the wind

At a pace too fast to recognize the places that I've been

Living up my years of freedom like the words to a song

I found myself believing that I can make it on my own

Till I wound up on my knees one

night on the side of the road

Where I cried and said: I'm willing

where you lead me, I will go

I was finally tired of running

wild across these lonely plains

I surrendered all I had

And let the master take the reigns

And now I'm free

I'm not scared, and I'm not running

I'm right where I'm supposed to be

Yes, I'm free

I know from over there it might look like captivity

But on this side of the fence, it feels like free

Often looked upon as beauty when the Mustang runs and bucks

Some criticize the ones we ride and pull behind our trucks

But they were put here with a purpose

that the wild ones have yet to find

Like me, they just need breaking down to open up their eyes

And see, I'm free

I'm not scared, and I'm not running

I'm right where I'm supposed to be

Yes, I'm free

I know from over there it might look like captivity

But on this side of the fence, it feels like free

Now, who's to say the mustang won't be better off this way?

Having someone he can count on so he don't go astray

He don't sleep with one eye open

he's found peace within these bounds

And I've found a life like this

is every bit worth settling down

'Cause I'm free

I'm not scared, and I'm not running

I'm right where I'm supposed to be

Yes, I'm free

I know from over there it might look like captivity

But on this side of the fence, it feels like free

Oh, I know I'm free
