She was a mustang in a pony town, wild frontier on settled ground
 Somethin' different in a place that never allows a change
 [?
 I think she only let me hold her 'cause I never tried to make her stay
 When your young in love fire is hard to know
 What hurts worse, holdin' on or lettin' go?

 And some things are born to be free
 And love a man headin' for the very same thing
 It's a beauty almost spiritual to watch her run
 And I knew she'd never stay mine
 'Cause you can't lay claim to somethin' so wild
 Just enjoy 'em while you can 'cause they don't stick around
 Not a mustang in a pony town

 There were cold nights I felt the heat
 Sometimes I could feel the burn in me
 I told her that I loved her
 She said "Just for a while"
 I can say my heart was deceivin' me
 I knew from the start where it would be
 Only a fool would fall in love with a leavin' smile

 And some things are born to be free
 And love a man headin' for the very same thing
 It's a beauty almost spiritual to watch 'em run
 And I knew she'd never stay mine
 'Cause you can't lay claim to somethin' so wild
 Just enjoy 'em while you can 'cause they don't stick around
 Not a mustang in a pony town

 And some things are born to be free
 And love a man headin' for the very same thing
 It's a beauty almost spiritual to watch her run
 And I knew she'd never stay mine
 'Cause you can't lay claim to somethin' so wild
 Just enjoy 'em while you can 'cause they don't stick around
 Not a mustang in a pony town
