Boy you better buckle up cause you don't know the trouble you're in
I know you think you're man enough to tame a girl as wild as the wind
But you should know that asking a leaver to stay is begging your heart to break
Cause she's gonna run like the wild Mississippi
Like the rain drops that haul off the roof of this house
She's blazing her trail leaving dust clouds and memories
Have you throw all your pennies right down that ole whiskey well
She's got mustang burning through her blood
You can try to fence her in but she'll just jump
Say a prayer grab the reigns and hold on
Cause she's gonna run
Its like tryna throw a lasso round the sun
Or catch a bullet from a smoking gun
There's a better chance the river turns around than to tie her heart down
But you should know you can't turn a gray sky to blue
There ain't nothing you can do
Cause she's gonna run like the wild Mississippi
Like the rain drops that haul off the roof of this house
She's blazing her trail leaving dust clouds and memories
Have you throw all your pennies right down that ole whiskey well
She's got mustang burning through her blood
You can try to fence her in but she'll just jump
Say a prayer grab the reigns and hold on
Cause she's gonna run
She's gonna run
She'll take off like a bandit
Drag your heart through the canyon
And leave you like she's always done
She's gonna run til she finds there she's heading
Or she's gonna run til she runs outta road and man I should know
Cause she's gonna run like the wild Mississippi
Like the rain drops that haul off the roof of this house
She's blazing her trail leaving dust clouds and memories
Have you throw all your pennies right down that ole whiskey well
She's got mustang burning through her blood
You can try to fence her in but she'll just jump
Say a prayer grab the reigns and hold on
Cause she's gonna run
