OPENER    Mainstream

Sides face, grand square
From a phone booth in Cheyenne, I made a promise to Diane
No more rodeos, I'd gone my last go-round
Allemande left and weave the ring
Wild horses just stay wild
Swing and promenade the ring
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade halfway
Square thru I say
All the way and now you do the right & left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel
Square thru 3 hands around
Swing corner and promenade
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

MIDDLE BREAK    Basic

Circle left
Wild horses keep draggin' me away
Left allemande the corner, dosado your own
Left allemande and weave the ring
Wild horses just stay wild
Swing your girl around and promenade
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

CLOSER    Mainstream

Sides face, grand square
Wild horses keep draggin' me away
And I loose more than I'm gonna win someday
Allemande left and weave the ring
Wild horses just stay wild
And her heart is all I'll break
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

TAG

Wild horses keep draggin' me away

From a phone booth in Cheyenne
I made a promise to Diane
No more rodeos
I'd gone my last go 'round

The same promise that I made
In San Antone and Santa Fe
But tonight I saddled up
And let her down

Wild horses keep draggin' me away
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
Wild horses just stay wild
And her heart is all I break
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

She'll watch me drive around her block
Gettin' courage up to stop
To make her one more promise
That I can't keep

The way I love the rodeo
I guess I should let her go
Before I hurt her more
Than she loves me

Wild horses keep draggin' me away
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
Wild horses just stay wild
And her heart is all I break
Wild horses keep draggin' me away

Wild horses keep draggin' me away
And I'll lose more than I'm gonna win someday
Wild horses just stay wild
And her heart is all I break
Wild horses keep draggin' me away
