Like a Mustang (Live from Tootsie's Orchid Lounge)

V6

[Crowd Noise / Guitar Tuning] [Colt — speaking] How y'all doin', Nashville? [Crowd cheers] Got one for y'all tonight... This one's about one of them girls you know damn well you ain't ever gonna tame... But you're dumb enough to try anyway. [Crowd laughs / Acoustic guitar begins] Yeahhh... There she go... Ain't no fence high enough... Ain't no reins strong enough... She's like a Mustang. [Verse 1] She pulled up slow with the windows down Black on black, rollin' through this town Hair fallin' loose underneath that cap One little look had me lookin' right back She don't say much, she don't have to Those wild green eyes tell you what they'll do Little bit of whiskey underneath that smile She'll let you get close... for a little while I said, "Baby, where you goin' tonight?" She said, "Anywhere that don't feel right" Then she slid on over, whispered my name And I knew right then... She couldn't be tamed. [Pre-Chorus] She don't wanna be saved... She don't wanna be changed... You can try to hold her close... But she won't stay... [Chorus] She runs a little wiiiild... like a Mustang Hair blowin' out the siiiide... like a Mustang Ain't no reins gonna hold her... like a Mustang One look and she'll own ya... like a Mustang She'll let you get close, then she's goooone... like a Mustang Heart full of fire all night loooong... like a Mustang Boy, don't even try to make her staaaay... like a Mustang She's... like... a... MUSTAAANG! [Crowd cheers] Yeah... y'all got it now. [Verse 2] Bare feet up on my dashboard Faded denim that she cut short Moon hangin' low, radio down Just me and her with nobody around Two-lane blacktop, nowhere to be Her right there ridin' next to me Cool night air tanglin' her hair One little kiss and I'm already there She's got that don't-give-a-damn in her blood Little bit of heaven, little bit of mud She'll make you swear she's finally yours Then she's gone with the slam of a door [Pre-Chorus] She don't wanna be saved... She don't wanna be changed... Soon as you think she's yours... She slips away... [Chorus — Crowd Joining] She runs a little wiiiild... like a Mustang Hair blowin' out the siiiide... like a Mustang Ain't no reins gonna hold her... like a Mustang One look and she'll own ya... like a Mustang She'll let you get close, then she's goooone... like a Mustang Heart full of fire all night loooong... like a Mustang Boy, don't even try to make her staaaay... like a Mustang She's... like... a... MUSTAAANG! [Crowd: "LIKE A MUSTANG!"] [Colt laughs] Hell yeah. [Bridge — Quiet Guitar] Can't fence her in... Can't tie her down... Can't plant her feet In one little town... She ain't lookin' For no diamond ring... She wants an open road... And everything... [Pause] And if she breaks my heart... Let it break. [Crowd cheers] [Colt — speaking] Alright Nashville... When I point at you, I wanna hear this whole damn place. [Final Chorus] She runs a little wiiiild... [CROWD: LIKE A MUSTANG!] Fire behind those eyes... [CROWD: LIKE A MUSTANG!] Ain't no reins gonna hold her... [CROWD: LIKE A MUSTANG!] Lord knows I can't control her... [CROWD: LIKE A MUSTANG!] She'll pull you in close, then she's goooone... [CROWD: LIKE A MUSTANG!] And I'd still chase that girl anyway... [CROWD: LIKE A MUSTANG!] She's wild and free... [CROWD: LIKE A MUSTANG!] She's hell on me... [CROWD: LIKE A MUSTANG!] She's everything I shouldn't need... [CROWD: LIKE A MUSTANG!] [Guitar stops] [Colt] She's... [Crowd] LIKE... [Colt] A... [EVERYONE] MUSTAAAAAAANG! [Huge cheers / applause] [Outro — Quiet Guitar] There she go... Can't catch her... Can't keep her... But damn... You wanna try. Liiike a Mustaaang... [Final chord / applause]
