She Loves Horses
Chasing Thunderstorms: Unraveling the Wild Heart in 'She Loves Horses'
Lyrics
She blew in
She arrived or entered.
Like a thunderstorm rolling across the plains
Her presence is powerful and intense, comparable to a thunderstorm moving across flat lands.
She's lightning when the sunshine fire and rain
She possesses qualities that contrast, symbolized by lightning in sunshine, fire, and rain.
And then she's gone
She departs or disappears.
And I don't know
The speaker is uncertain or unaware of something related to her heart.
What it is about her heart that speaks to mine
There is something about her heart that resonates with the speaker's.
It makes me think another place another time
It evokes thoughts of a different place and time where they could have had a fulfilling life together.
We'd have it all
In that imagined scenario, they would have everything.
But she loves horses
She has a deep affection for horses.
Wide open running wild
Horses represent freedom and unbridled spirit.
That's where her heart is
Her heart is truly connected to the freedom symbolized by horses.
She'll let me hold on for a while

I won't try to change her

I can see her now
The speaker envisions her in a specific situation.
Windows down
She is carefree, with open windows, possibly driving.
Chasin' that damn rodeo
Pursuing the excitement of a rodeo.
What I'd give to be the fire
The speaker desires to be the passion burning within her soul.
Burning deep inside her soul
He acknowledges the deep passion she has for horses.
But I know
Despite his feelings, he recognizes the reality of the situation.
