Song: Wild Ponies Artist: Kellie Pickler Album: Small Town Girl
Intro: CGF
CG She was a beautiful girl FC She was wild as the wind CG On top of the world FC Till she fell in love with him FG Everyone told her he was bad news FG A boy goin' nowhere ain't no good for you
(Chorus) CGFC 'Cause wild ponies are born to run G Don't ya know wild ponies FC Don't belong to no one FGC So baby run, run, run away
The first time he hit her Was right after church He said he was sorry But he'd only gotten worse Now she's not the same girl That he used to be he's brakin' her spirit He's fencin' her dreams
Chorus
(play chords softly) F She went out for groceries
Just an ordinary day G She realized she was just
A block from the interstate F She sat at the stoplight
The wheel in her hands G And when the light changed
