McEntire, Reba - Just Like Them Horses Lyrics






She held him close, then she kissed his face
He said it just has to be this way
Yours is the heart I'll always keep
I'm not gone even if I leave

If you love me, don't you be afraid
To look in my eyes and open up the gate
Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun
Just like them horses
When it's time to run

He said, Chockie Mountain is calling me
Gonna take a walk up where I can see
Turn and face that western wind
Oh, and I'll be home again

If you love me, don't you be afraid
To look in my eyes and open up the gate
Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun
Just like them horses
When it's time to run

Oh, just like them horses

She held his hand, he took one last breath
Then she walked out to the front porch step
Stared at the sky, tears on her face
And she swore she could hear him say

If you love me, don't you be afraid
To look in my eyes and open up the gate
Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun
Just like them horses
When it's time to run

Just like them horses
When it's time to run
When it's time to run
When it's time to run

Now it's time to run

Just like them horses, ooh
Just like them horses
Oh, now it's time to run...

    I'm always reminded of my best friend when I listen to this song. We were inseparable for 6 years and we grew close because we were the crazy horse girls at out school. She died October 13th, 2019 and I still miss her every single day. I ride her horse a lot now because I feel closer to her on his back than I do anywhere else. Rest in Peace Melia. You deserved a lot more than what you got

    I don’t know how she made it through this music video shoot without bawling her eyes out. Maybe she did, but just making this video must’ve been hard for her.

  14. J.... P....

    This song popped into my head tonight. 💙 Beautiful tribute.

  15. J.... S....

    Good song Reba I lost my good friend in October 2019 it is still hard

  17. D.... H....

    Hay aunt Reba it's PP how u been

  18. A.... M....

    Song hits me hard tonight ! Thinking about people close to me who lost a daddy and grandfather on Christmas Eve 😢

  19. C.... H....

    Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I think this your best work yet. I loved my daddy. Even though I’m a grandma now, I loved being a daddy’s girl and miss him so much. Again, thank you and God bless.

  20. L.... R....

    I'm so grateful for being so close to my Dad in my young adulthood, and him believing in me made me who I am today, many years after his passing, but I so remember how he said how he loved me, but also needed me to be there for his new wife and son, as he knew he wouldn't be here much longer. Sure enough he passed away when young brother Wayne was only 4 yrs. old, but I was there then and to this day still. Young brother Wayne is so much like him it's scary sometimes, and he's as stubborn as me and Dad were. Very strong beautiful character in that young boy, now a man,, and don't worry Dad, no matter what we are there for our Mamma Louise too! I hope you can see us from wherever you are and proud of all of us! I miss you every day Dad!

  21. L.... R....

    again, my hero, and only one who believed in me to be strong enough to overcome so many hardships, and we were both stubborn like these horses, riding free, and be damned with every one else's opinion. This was my Dad carrying me to be strong and free, and stubborn like him, and thanks Dad...God I miss you so much sometimes, but long gone from me, but I'll see you wherever you went, for I'm sure to be there too, LOL, and I'm still there for your latest family Louse and son Wayne...OMG, hes not so little anymore, but big and strong like you were Proud of him too. miss you Dad.
    Wish you were still here with all of us!

  22. R.... V....

    Love you always me and you we not afraid the devil only we promise god he stay with us forever and Amen Amen

  23. B.... K....

    Love Reba. She is an awesome person as well as a performer.

  24. L.... R....

    god, I love his song, love you Dad

  25. J.... S....

    I tell you what. Have been deployed for the last 10 months with the Pa National Guard. Listening to this song as often as I do makes me love my mom so much. She has let me run and the story just means so much to me. I am really hoping to be back in Pa in time to see you Reba. You have always been my Idol and love ya girl. Your music means the world to me.

  36. G.... K....

    Thats the hardest thing to ever do, even if you dont want too...thats the only way to send them off peacefully! I no i was there till she took her last breath! I miss my mommy everday, my merry sunshine💝

  37. C.... P....

    Love this song, cried as listened, most beautiful words. I have lost both parents, my dad had cancer in 1999, my mom diagnosed dementia lost her 10 years later. My paternal grandfather died after I was born, paternal grandma after my dad died. I lost my maternal grandmother in 2006 to cancer, I am grateful to have my maternal grandfather still here, he is 94 years old, I know one day God will be ready to take him, it will be a very hard day for me, he is all I have left for a mentor. He has taught me a lot growing up and he is the best grandpa one could have. Thanks Reba for a beautiful song. I know you wrote it for your dad, God Bless you

  38. S.... J....

    May you rest in peace Clark McEntire xx

  39. O.... G....

    I love this song

    we never can say Goodbye even after death as they are so still a big part of us and who we turned out to be because of him or them? thanks

  43. L.... R....

    OMG.........I was a big fan of Reba years ago with the song You Lied, and many other heartaches since then......but this is also my song for my dad.....and I thank you for it!!

  44. M.... B....

    thanks Reba for such a beautiful and meaningful song, as in my father's memory also!!

  47. C.... g....

    What an amazing tribute for her parents. She really knows how to show love and respect through her music.

  48. A.... Y....

    This song reminds me of my grandfather that we lost in 2009 a month after my 4th birthday. I was only a baby but I remember all the times I rode with him in that truck. He lived a hard but rewarding life. And the thing with horses🤣 he had one that got out and he had to chase all over. I love you billy 😘

  49. A.... R....

    I just herd this song wow 😮 I ant belive I ain’t never herd it before damn Reba ur the 2 woke. Besides Loretta Lynn that’s a damn good singer oh and Shania Twain gotta love that natural beauty what all of y’all 3 have love y’all bless y’all 🙏🏼❤️❤️😘☝️🌎♥️👑

  50. M.... a....

    I listen to her every night at work

  51. p.... ....

    I actually never thought I would ever have to go through this again, but boy was I wrong, over 2.5 year ago our family lost a wonderful man that has taken us into his home. We were just strangers on the street. My mom and the wonderful man knew each other, but us 6 children did not know this man. He gave us a loving home and gave us clothes and food. He has shown us unconditional love also. If we wanted something and he would get it for us. Him and my mother got married in 2009. we were living with him since 98. Then April 1st of 2017 our world got was taken away when the heavenly father said it was his time to come home, all of us were in the hospital room when he took his last breath. My mother ran out of the room and saying this is not real, she had a mental break down after she soon realized that it was all true. We are still not over him being gone, it is so hard to say goodbye to someone that was always there and strong for us.


    My biological father passed away when I was 3 years old, I have a very small memory of him.


    To both of them I will see you guys in heaven soon! love and miss you both!

  52. B.... B....

    I trust in you Lord but it's been a battle here on earth. I lost my parents when I was 5 and I hate that cancer took my children's father. I can't describe the pain to see your children go through so much pain and only help is Jesus.

  53. K.... M....

    Reba has always been an amazing artist, exceptional voice but I think this song tops them all. ❤️ Keep on, going Reba! You still got it!!! 🎶

  54. L.... R....

    boy, so to say Goodbye to my hero, seems to be the only one who thinks so, but that's because no one else understood us and our hardships, yet found some good times, but it was too late. wish I could've of done it over and over again, just to argue, or laugh, or to be stubborned like them horses.....thanks Dad as this song is so much about you and me, but I truly believe you wanted something from me, and I know or hope to have been there to make sure it did indeed happen and my nose is still stuck in their business, LOLll Damn, I miss you so muchl

  55. L.... R....

    thanks Dad

  56. L.... R....

    and damn you never can say Goodbye to someone who taught you all these values in life.

  57. L.... R....

    no one who believes in "life after death" or spiritual beings, then we're not saying Goodbye, but a Hello under a different umbrella......sometimes just a whisper or a slight feeling against your skin.........and just know it's him there for you again, even though he left us at such an early age of only 57yrs. but his words to me were so strong and powerful that I lived by them and now owe my joy & happiness and career to him..I didn't run, but faced the situations head on......just like them horses

  58. L.... R....

    thanks Dad........miss you and love you so many years after you leaving us bodily, but not spiritually, not for me anyways........but I was so stubborned too

  59. A.... J....

    Always Beautiful!!! Thank You Reba ♡♡♡

  60. P.... H....

    There's only one Loretta and only one Reba know one will ever be able to take there place in country music

  61. L.... R....

    OMG, how I wish I had one last chance to talk it up with my dad, now gone for 28 yrs or more but this song is all about me and him being so stubborn.....for everything. wish he was still here to just argue with him, for the sake of debating all the time.........some siblings will never know the joy I had with him.....again thanks Dad! (long gone, but never forgotten!!

  62. V.... ....

    I played this at my baby sister funeral she loves horses and always wanted to run with them so I play this song for her funeral

    V.... ....

    So sorry for your loss

    V.... ....

    @brady oehler thank you she safe now

  63. J.... W....

    I just heard this song reminds me so much of my sweet little nephew Owen and uncle John. He loved horses. I miss them both so much. I know that they are running free.

  64. L.... R....

    simple answer, you don't ever say goodbye, as they will always be part of your life, forever, not for just a couple years.......but a lifetime even long after they are gone! thanks Dad

  65. L.... R....

    my Dad's words and wisdom thought me for many years in my young adulthood. He may have not been there as often as I wanted him to be in my youth, because of divorce, etc...but I was stubborn as he was and he kept me going through college and then working for a lawyer, and my career started by his words..........and I'll never forget what he went through to give me that strength, as we both run like those horses!!!

  66. L.... R....

    you never say goodbye to such an important icon in your life, and who gave you courage to go to that career or choice of life........just wish he had had more time with his new family, but I kept my promise Dad, to be there for Louise and young Wayne....You would be so proud of him as he's stubborn like you and how you thought me to be that way too!! But us stubborn Bertrand's will always be successful in our careers as we don't give up easily.......but give it all the shit we can dish out, and that's what made us of your kids so strong to this day..........thanks again, Dad..............now time to run...........love you forever Dad.

  67. B.... S....

    Beautiful *

  68. G.... R....

    What a Beautiful Song

  69. C.... D....

    Beautiful ❤️💙 song 🖌️🎨🌞

  70. H.... B....

    This is a song I have chosen for my dad May he rest in peace xx

  71. L.... R....

    you can't say goodbye when he will forever be in your heart, and you were always Daddy's girl for more reasons than you knew, but still miss him and love him, no matter what. We were just wild and fancy free, just like them horses...........but best of all, I get to say THANKS to Dad again!!!!

  72. A.... T....

    I love that song I love Reba mcentire

  73. L.... R....

    thanks Reba for dedicating this song to your father, as I have now done to my long ago deceased father......the song just fits so well with our relationship. thanks

  74. D.... D....

    I cried when i first heard this song i still cry to it today I'm playing this song for my grandma when she dies she's the only one that is still alive right now. I love this song and video it's beautiful and i love Reba McEntire voice to. Thanks Reba for ritting this song it's beautiful.

  75. M.... ....

    Oooo I love this feeling of how bitter sweet it is.

  76. L.... R....

    you're biggest influence in life, most likely a parent, like me with my father, and hurtful memories with my mother after their separation/divorce, but he was always there for me when I needed the most, and I so miss him, now gone for almost 30 yrs. But he thought me how to be strong and stubborn, and keep fighting whatever came my way. Thanks Dad!!

  77. L.... R....

    ah shit you always make me cry......thanks

  78. L.... R....

    OMG, thank you, as my father who was so black-balled from us kids when they divorced that it took so long for me to see the two sides of the story........I just started working for a lawyer when I was out of college at the age of 18yrs. old, and that's when I learned about how he influenced me in my life, stubborn just like your father was the famous words I heard so many years? (Reba's next song???) Stubborn like dad? I'm still very stubborn like he was, and strong willed woman, but he died so young at the age of 56yrs, and my mom at the age of 47yrs., wow, and I was left raising 3 minor children all at once, but hey, went through that shit back in 1986 and 1989......and I'm still kicking ass out there? thank you Reba for your dedication song to your father, wish I could share it with my siblings, but I think there's about only 2 of us who feel his love......I know I was his favourite so my step-mom says, but shit, and dang, I still wish he was here to give me shit for my single life and weekend partying, etc...Miss you Dad.

  79. c.... c....

    This is such a beautiful song sung by a beautiful voice

    My dad had this song played at his funeral 😭😭😭😭

  81. S.... D....

    I came here for rotisserie chickens and am severely disappointed

  82. J.... R....

    I miss you Isaac. I won't be afraid. I'm trying to do as I promised. You left the bar really high.

    J.... R....

    hope all goes well and he's OK? Hopefully he can get rid of his addiction of being high, and be strong to be there for you which is what you want..Otherwise, let him go like those wild horses? I've been there also, and sometimes, you have to just let go and move on?

  83. L.... R....

    omg......this song is more than about horses......but involves bad relationships as well? thanks for being strong again and about teaching us women to let go, no matter what the circumstances were...but this is a sad one, and dang girl you make us all cry all the time!

  84. A.... ....
