In the shadow of the saddle
Running wild and running free
In a herd of running mustangs
There's a part of you and me.

Broken spirit, broken promises
Make them fear the sight of man
In the shadow of the saddle
Lives the wild horse bronco band.

Call 'em cayuse, call 'em broncos
Call 'em mustangs, call 'em free
In the shadow of the saddle
Let them run boys, let them be.

--- Instrumental ---

We have changed the land and water
Just to fit our selfish needs
Now the shadow of the saddle
Falls across these gallant steeds.

Oh, the Spanish and the Indians
Gave them freedom in the sun
In the name of God and nature
Let them run boys, let them run.

Call 'em cayuse, call 'em broncos
Call 'em mustangs, call 'em free
In the shadow of the saddle
Let them run boys, let them be...
