From a phone booth in Cheyenne
  I made a promise to Diane
  No more rodeos
  I'd gone my last go 'round
    The same promise that I made
  In San Antone and Santa Fe
  But tonight I saddled up
  And let her down
    Wild horses keep draggin' me away
  And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
  Wild horses just stay wild
  And her heart is all I break
  Wild horses keep draggin' me away
    She'll watch me drive around her block
  Gettin' courage up to stop
  To make her one more promise
  That I can't keep
    The way I love the rodeo
  I guess I should let her go
  Before I hurt her more
  Than she loves me
    Wild horses keep draggin' me away
  And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
  Wild horses just stay wild
  And her heart is all I break
  Wild horses keep draggin' me away
