von The Killers

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext 'Runaway Horses - Abridged' von The Killers erzählt die Geschichte einer jungen Frau aus einer Kleinstadt, ...

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 till 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

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

Like runaway horses
In a fever till 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
When every step is a silver prayer
In the face of a hard wind
