Me And My Best Friend (Running Free)

I walk out the door,
It's a hot, sunny day.
I climb aboard and get comfortable,
And "walk on" I say.

We move as one,
Even though we're two.
Through each paddock we run free,
Only stopping for the gates we go through.

The wind through my hair,
The wind through his mane,
We feel so free,
Even though we're tame.

No one can stop us,
While we're out here free.
It's plain to see,
This is where I want to be.

My best friend and I,
We're special you see.
Cause it's not just being out here,
That makes us free.

It's in our heart,
It's in our soul.
Because in life,
We have but just one goal.

To live life to the max,
And never give up.
And to get back up,
Even if we think we're stuck.
