Lyrics:

When our feet were tough as horn
And our eyes were sharp as flint
Our hearts beat like two war drums
And you tracked me by my scent
Cross a scape of shiny asphalt
While that blacked our soles with tar
And we ran like brave Comanches
On a moonlit reservoir
And you said
I don't wanna be tamed down
I just wanna saddle up
Ride my broomstick pony along some salt grass open plain
Well, you really showed your hand
Popping off ten cans
With your daisy pump air rifle and your Annie Oakley aim
You were anything but tame baby
Oh, you summon me with bird calls
Or you scratching at my screen
Your mouth gone sweet with juicy fruit
Tawny legs and cut off jeans
In my stretchy Ford Ranchero
Ah, we rattled like train cars
And we slung our share of gravel
'Neath a tarpaulin of stars
And you said
I don't wanna be tamed down
I don't wanna give an inch
The fenced off picture perfect in your bill fold window frame
Now you were born to romp
In this God forsaken swamp
Dodging cottonmouths and quicksand on your tiptoes in the rain
You were anything but tame, baby

I heard Shreveport didn't last
And you lit out for LA
But when lightning claws the night up
I can see you plain as day
And when I want to feel you near me
I go crawl down off my cloud
And I pull on down a bayou
And crying in my blood
And you said
I don't wanna be tamed down
I don't wanna tread regret
And flat out make excuses for the way I've came up lame
I could have been enough
To lift this off the cup
On the cutting edge of nowhere where the sun goes down in flames
We were anything but tame, baby
Anything but tame
