I Need Room To Ride Wild Horses

I am absolutely enamored with these lovely young songstresses. Speaking as a blond I am happy to see true blondes that have not bleached their eyebrows to match. Some of us blondes are just born with darker eyebrows. These lyrics spoke to me... they really reminded me of how I tried to change to try to be the person my husband wanted me to be, eventually just losing myself all together. I will never ever let my spirit be overshadowed and broken like that again. Now I live my life for me, the minute I don't feel respected is the minute I run.



I Can Love Anyone

Maybe it was me,
But it just didn't feel like anyway to breathe
Being with him, underneath his thumb left a heavy print on me
All the things, that I tried to change to be the girl he needs
The quiet one, the chameleon
the saint, the anger, the house of fun

I need room to ride wild horses,
I wanna be free to fall from my own choices and
I can pretend, hide under my couch,
or cry 'till I turn blue,
I can love anyone, anyone I want to
I can love anyone, anyone I want to

Everywhere I go now,
It's just my shadow, following to close
I can hold on, I could walk or run, or I can just let go
If I drive, all night long,
no one needs to know
It's my debts, they're all my regrets
and the best part hasn't happened yet

I need room to ride wild horses,
I wanna be free to fall from my own choices and
I can pretend, hide under my couch,
or cry 'till I turn blue,
I can love anyone, anyone I want to,
I can love anyone, anyone I want to,

All the things, that I tried to change,
to be the girl he needs
the quiet one, the chameleon,
the saint, the anger, the house of fun

I need room to ride wild horses,
I wanna be free to fall from my own choices,
I can love anyone, anyone I want to,
I can love anyone, anyone I want to.

I like what this song says! Thanks for a great blog, it reminds me of a band from long ago called "till tuesday", the singer was Amy Mann and she sang about this very subject of being free to live your life the way you see fit, not the way a man decides it should be. I married my Mr. Slug because he allows me to be the best me I can be, and I appreciate him for that. Women need to wait until they find the best match for themselves and should never settle for less than the best love they can find. Life is too short to waste time with controlling personalities. It is your movie. Great blog! Love from the wild, happily married and free Mrs. Slug

Thank you. I know Aimee Mann well I am a huge fan. That's the way marriage should be... I hope when it happens for me again that's what it will be.
