lyrics

I remember like it was yesterday
Two hearts on fire outside Licks' Cafe
You were standing with your friends
Doin' your best to pretend you didn't know me
Took all I had to play it cool
My buddies laughed and said I was a fool
To think a girl like you would ever be
Caught dead with a guy like me

We were dark horses (x2)
Dark horses runnin' into the wind
The soundtrack of life turned up to ten
Dark horses; dark horses
We were wild and we were free
It was us against the world
Dark horses; dark horses
We were dark horses

It was a secret we couldn't keep
I was in love with you; and you with me
Your folks said it was a big mistake
A chance you couldn't take; you took anyway
We ran off undercover of the night
In a beat up Ford with a busted taillight
Too young to know but we believed
We'd make it on a wing, a prayer & a dream

We were dark horses (x2)
Dark horses runnin' into the wind
The soundtrack of life turned up to ten
Dark horses; dark horses
We were wild and we were free
It was us against the world
Dark horses; dark horses
We were dark horses

They said it wouldn't last long
After all these years we're still goin' strong

Dark horses; dark horses
We were dark horses (x2)
Dark horses runnin' into the wind
The soundtrack of life turned up to ten
Dark horses; dark horses
We were wild and we were free
It was us against the world
Dark horses; dark horses
