Poor boy Peter didn't know how
To claim his miracle, lost his way
Cost him dearly like his dad
He lost his pride to end this way

It's taken a long time
But wild horses wouldn't take me back to you
Get out of town and take your lazy dog with you
Your train is running late and overdue

I was trying to sedate him
Trying not to blow, trying not to hate him
But time was as blatant as gold
Wouldn't you know?

He was clean out of feelings
Nothing to say, rings on his fingers
Were as fake as the kisses he gave
I said have it your way

I'm just a crazy fool
Took my time thought I'd be safe, oh
I said I felt the cold
Ain't got love to choose, oh, oh, baby

I shouldn't have lost my head
Shouldn't have lost the meaning that I said, yeah, yeah
I could have brought you home,
Get you back to what we both know, yeah, yeah

Ooh, did I miss my cue?
Did you back a fool?
It's what you thought of me
Baby

It's taken a long time
But wild horses wouldn't take me back to you
Get out of town and take your lazy dog with you
Your train is running late and overdue

This place, the crazy town
Too much time for girls to feel strange, yeah
Take back your lazy punks
There'll never be enough no, oh, baby

I shouldn't have lost my head
Shouldn't have lost the meaning that I said, yeah, yeah
I could have brought you home
Get you back to what we both know, yeah, yeah

Ooh, did I miss my cue?
Did you back a fool?
It's what you thought of me, yeah
Baby

It's taken a long time
But wild horses wouldn't take me back to you
Get out of town and take your lazy dog with you
Your train is running late and overdue

It's taken a long time
But wild horses wouldn't take me back to you
Get out of town and take your lazy dog with you
Your train is running late and overdue

It's taken a long time
But wild horses wouldn't take me back to you
Get out of town and take your lazy dog with you
