. . . It's 4 in the morning And she'll be gone by 5 She's got me tangled in the sheets And all tangled up inside I can feel her heart racing Like a bird that needs to fly No, I've never been this close to something that wild . She's like a storm of wild horses As they thunder across the plains She's like the mighty Mississippi When she's come out of her banks She's a raging tornado in an angry Kansas sky Oh, I've never been this close to something that wild . She's like trying to catch the rain Or hold sand in your hands She's the kind that sometimes wants one But she sure don't need a man Oh her heart might wanna stay But I know that's not her style Oh, I've never been this close to something that wild . She's like a storm of wild horses As they thunder across the plains She's like the mighty Mississippi When she's come out of her banks She's a raging tornado in an angry Kansas sky Oh, I've never been this close to something that wild . And when she lays her love down on me Even though she's just a stranger Lord I know it might sound crazy But I'm drawn to the danger that surrounds her Burning inside her like a wildfire . She's like a storm of wild horses As they thunder across the plains She's like the mighty Mississippi When she's come out of her banks She's a raging tornado in an angry Kansas sky Oh, I've never been this close to something that wild No, I've never been this close .
