Lyrics

For miles and miles there's but one lonesome soul
A head strong bronco never bridled
Casting a shadow upon the plains
He'll die before a rider ever takes the reins

His spirit as wild as the western wind
Running for miles across the land
The look in his eye will shake you to your core
To no man he's ever surrendered before

Cowboys have tried and cowboys have failed
I'm the only one who's lived to tell the tale
Of the horse that can't be ridden
The horse that can't be tamed
The horse that almost killed me in the bone chillin rain

It was 3 am on an October night
I barely noticed the rain for I’d been drinkin moonshine
We rode up to the pasture where the wild horses graze
To find the unbridled beast that can't be tamed

I laid my money down to place my bet
My pride deceiving of the outcome
Yet I knew I'd be the rider to take the reins
On the unbridled beast that can't be tamed

As I approached the bronco and looked into his eyes
Right then I knew I could kiss my life goodbye
For I had heard the tales of the cowboys that died
When they tried to take the reins for the very first ride

Bareback and buckwild I got on top
It wasn't two seconds before I was thrown off
Of the horse that can't be ridden
The horse that can't be tamed
The horse that almost killed me in the bone chillin rain

He ran off in the night that's the last time he's been seen
Regretful & beholden I'm somewhere in between
I spent a whole year healing all my broken bones
Wondering if he'll ever make his return home

For miles and miles there's but one lonesome soul
A head strong bronco never bridled
Casting a shadow upon the plains
He'll die before a rider ever takes the reins
He'll die before a rider ever takes the reins
