[Verse] Sunlight creeps through cottonwood leaves Morning dew’s cold, but the heart believes Out by the fence, where the wild winds play I hear that old horse whinny at the break of day [Pre-Chorus] It’s a sound like a story, soft and clear Telling me the lonely nights are near [Chorus] Oh, that morning call, it’s a sweet melody Whispers of freedom, just for you and me Like a river running wild, never far away I’m waking up with that horse whinny at the first light of day [Verse] Coffee’s warm and the porch boards creak The world’s still slow, just like we seek But that sound keeps pulling me outside to stay Where the horizon meets that whinny at the break of day [Pre-Chorus] It’s a sound like a story, soft and clear Telling me the lonely nights are near [Chorus] Oh, that morning call, it’s a sweet melody Whispers of freedom, just for you and me Like a river running wild, never far away I’m waking up with that horse whinny at the first light of day [Bridge] And when the sun climbs high, that song fades away But it’s waiting there for me, at the close of day Like a promise made on an open range That simple sound, it’ll never change [Chorus] Oh, that morning call, it’s a sweet melody Whispers of freedom, just for you and me Like a river running wild, never far away I’m waking up with that horse whinny at the first light of day [Chorus] Oh, that morning call, it’s a sweet melody Whispers of freedom, just for you and me Like a river running wild, never far away I’m waking up with that horse whinny at the first light of day [Outro] At the break of day... That horse is calling me home.
