Turn Loose the Horses
Garrett Hedlund Lyrics

I look down that winding road
I needed rest and a place to go
Sick and tired of running round
Flying high and falling down
I'm gonna leave these blues behind
For some other fool to find
He won't care and I won't mind
I can't lose what was not mine

Turn loose all the horses and watch them run

Take time to take in the setting sun
Throw back a keeper just to watch them swim
Forgive your enemies and love your friends

Life goes wrong it feels like too much bang
Surely broken hearts are gonna love again
I guess if your heart's torn around the seams
Just think about your favorite pair of faded blue jeans

And on and on about the things gone wrong
Every day it feels like the same old song
Poor tortured souls trying to pay their dues
But life's no fun when dreams don't come true

Turn loose all the horses and watch them run
Take time to take in the setting sun
Throw back a keeper just to watch him swim
Forgive your enemies and love your friends

Turn loose all the horses and watch them run
Take time to take in the setting sun
Throw back a keeper just to watch him swim
Forgive your enemies and love your friends
