  • If there's a green pasture, I wanna be in it
    I'm a wild, wildflower just a-ready for the picking, ooh
    Thirty-one years is a long time coming
    Feet off the ground, but I'm a-still running, ooh

    I don't need a map, I don't need a road
    I don't need a fence, I just need to roam
    If you wanna love me, you don't need a rope
    You just need to know
    Good horses come home

    Mockingbirds singing, hummingbirds humming
    Searching for a song, so I keep on strumming, ooh
    Come a long way since I left Louisiana
    My dream tied on like a red bandana, ooh

    I don't need a map, I don't need a road
    I don't need a fence, I just need to roam
    If you wanna love me, you don't need a rope
    You just need to know
    Good horses come home

    They always come home

    Blame it on my bloodline, blame it on my daddy
    Blame it on the highway under my hemi
    Baby, just remember when you start to miss me

    I don't need a map, I don't need a road
    I don't need a fence, I just need to roam
    If you wanna love me, you don't need a rope
    You just need to know

    I don't need a compass, I don't need a saddle
    Let go of the reins, baby, let me unravel
    If you wanna love me, you don't need a rope
    You just need to know
    Good horses come home (good, good, good horses)
    Good horses come home (good, good, good horses)

    Yeah, boy, won't you give me some slack?
    They might run for the hills but they always come back (always come back)
    Yeah, boy, won't you give me some slack?
    They might run for the hills but they always come back
    Good, good, good horses
    They always come home (good, good, good horses)
    Mm, they always come home (good, good, good horses) Writer/s: Charles Dick, Lainey Wilson, Miranda Lambert
