Runaway Horses (abridged) Songtext
von The Killers

Small town girl
Coca-Cola grin, honeysuckle skin
Born beneath the ruddy sign
Of a strawberry moon

Small town girl
Shows up for her friends
Crazy ′bout the bends
I was there when she first
Put away childish things

We had spring in our heels
Unwavering forces
Head first into the unknown

Like runaway horses
In a fever 'til the end
And every step is a silver prayer
In the face of a hard wind


You traded school
For wedding rings and rent, invitations sent
Of you and him by a barn
Out on the edge of town

Small town girl
Put your dreams on ice, never thinking twice
Some you′ll surely forget
And some that you never will (never will)

There was a promise in our stride
But we changed courses
Head first into the unknown

Like runaway horses
In a fever 'til the end
And every step is a silver prayer
In the face of a hard wind

Like runaway horses
It's a long way back home again
Every step is a silver prayer
In the face of a hard wind
