Intro: CGFCG
She was a beautiful girl
FC
She was wild as the wind
CG
On top of the world
FC
Till she fell in love with him
FG
Everyone told her he was bad news
FGA boy goin' nowhere ain't no good for you
(Chorus)
CGFC
'Cause wild ponies are born to run
G
Don't ya know wild ponies
FC
Don't belong to no one
FGC
So baby run, run, run away
The first time he hit her
Was right after church
He said he was sorry
But he'd only gotten worse
Now she's not the same girl
That he used to be he's brakin' her spirit
He's fencin' her dreams
Chorus
(play chords softly)
F
She went out for groceries
Just an ordinary day
G
She realized she was just
A block from the interstate
F
She sat at the stoplight
The wheel in her hands
G
And when the light changed
She knew this was her chance
