Lyrics

I recall the night, we first locked eyes
False love at first sight, I realized
Your long hair shinin', your smile so bright
You seduced me, darlin', with just one glance that night

But like a wild mustang, you ran free
Left me here, heart achin', cryin' me
You chased the sunset, to another town
Left me here, in this one-horse town

I was determined, you were resistant and cold
But I followed my heart, down to Ruidoso, where love grows old
My heart still lays there, where the pine trees sway
But I'm movin' on, gotta get away

'Cause I'm better now, I'm healin' slow
I'm takin' back my heart, and lettin' go
I'm glad you're gone, I'm feelin' alive
I'm gettin' back to my old ways, gonna thrive

I miss you, but I don't
It's a strange, ol' feelin', but it's gone
You stole my heart, left me high and dry
But I'm takin' it back, gonna light up the sky

So I'll ride these country roads, feelin' alive and free
My heart's still in Ruidoso, but it's healin' me
I'm glad you're gone, I'm movin' on
I'm gettin' back to my old ways, and havin' fun.
