Cody Johnson - The Mustang Lyrics

I used to run just like a Mustang
With my head down in the wind
At a pace too fast to recognize the places that I've been
Living up my years of freedom
Like the words to a song
I found myself believing
That I can make it on my own

'Til I wound up on my knees
One night on the side of the road
Where I cried and said
"I'm willing, where You lead me, I will go"
I was finally tired of running wild
Across these lonely plains
I surrendered all I had
And let the master take the reigns

And now I'm free
I'm not scared and I'm not running
I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Yes, I'm free
I know from over there it might look like captivity
But on this side of the fence
It feels like free

Often looked upon as beauty
When the Mustang runs and bucks
Some criticize the ones we ride
And pull behind our trucks
But they were put here with a purpose
That the wild ones have yet to find
Like me, they just need breaking down
To open up their eyes

You see, I'm free
I'm not scared and I'm not running
I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Yes, I'm free
I know from over there it might look like captivity
But on this side of the fence
It feels like free

Now, who's to say the Mustang
Won't be better off this way?
Having someone he can count on
So he don't go astray
He don't sleep with one eye open
He's found peace within these bounds
And I've found a life like this
Is every bit worth settling down

'Cause I'm free
I'm not scared and I'm not running
I'm right where I'm supposed to be
Yes, I'm free
I know from over there it might look like captivity
But on this side of the fence
It feels like free
Oh, I know I'm free
