lyrics

You Left the Gate Swinging

You left the gate swinging
You left the gate swinging wide

You left the gate swinging
So I went on inside
The stalls were empty
The horses out running wild

You left the gate swinging
You left the gate swinging wide

You left the gate swinging
Nailed to the wall inside
I saw your lucky horseshoe
You know I almost cried

You left the gate swinging
You left the gate swinging wide

You left the gate swinging
I went back outside
I called your name
You know I really tried

Muscle memory don't fail me now
Muscle memory remember how
Muscle memory you've got to lead me
All the way back home

You left the gate swinging
You left the gate swinging wide

You left the gate swinging
I climbed up the mountainside
Up on a ridge I saw your lucky ride

You left the gate swinging
You left the gate swinging wide

You left the gate swinging
I approached her from her side
Down the mountain
I rode her justified

Muscle memory don't fail me now
Muscle memory remember how
Muscle memory you've got to lead me
All the way back home
