It's 4 in the morning and she'll be gone by 5
She's got me tangled in the sheets and all tangled up inside
I can feel her heart racing like a bird that needs to fly
Oh I've never been this close to something that wild

She's like a storm of wild horses
As they thunder across the plains
She's like the mighty Mississippi
When she's come out of the rains
She's a raging tornado in an angry Kansas sky
Oh, I've never been this close to something that wild

She's like trying to catch the rain or hold sand in your hand
She's the kind that sometimes wants one but she sure don't need a man
Oh, her heart might wanna stay but I know that's not her style
Oh, I've never been this close to something that wild

She's like a storm of wild horses
As they thunder across the plains
She's like the mighty Mississippi
When she's come out of the rains
She's the raging tornado in an angry Kansas sky
Oh, I've never been this close to something that wild

And when she lays her love down on me
Even though she's just a stranger
Lord, I know it might sound crazy
But I've grown to the danger
That surrounds her, burning inside her
Like a wild fire

She's like a storm of wild horses
As they thunder across the plains
She's like the mighty Mississippi
When she's come out of the rains
She's the raging tornado in an angry Kansas sky
Oh, I've never been this close to something that wild
No, I've never been this close
