Out on the flats where the tall grass bends, a band of mustangs came down to drink — and found a lake full of humans who understood exactly what they were. Thunder on the Water is a wild horse anthem wrapped in a lake party and tied together with bagpipes and pedal steel trading the bridge like two old souls who finally found each other. Nobody's tame out here. That's the whole point. - Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics: Out on the flats where the tall grass bends A band of mustangs 'round the mesa's end Manes like smoke in the morning haze Running hard through the summer days Nobody owns 'em, nobody tries They answer to nothing but wind and open sky And if you watch 'em long enough you start to understand Why some souls were never meant for fences Never meant for someone else's plan Thunder on the water, fire in the sky Wild as the horses that were born to run and fly Jet ski screaming, bonfire burning high We're just living like the mustangs tonight Thunder on the water, nobody's tame Out here on this lake we're all running just the same Somebody tied the boat up at the old rock ledge Cold drinks sweating on the tailgate edge Girls in the water, boys on the rail Sun going down on a Friday night tale The herd came down to drink right there at dusk Stood watching us — us watching them Like they always must And I swear in that moment by the water's edge Every wild thing understood We were all the same kind of free Thunder on the water, fire in the sky Wild as the horses that were born to run and fly Jet ski screaming, bonfire burning high We're just living like the mustangs tonight Thunder on the water, nobody's tame Out here on this lake we're all running just the same They run because they have to We run because we choose There ain't much difference darlin' When you got nothing left to lose The plains don't ask permission The water don't ask why Some things are just born free Underneath an open sky Thunder on the water, fire in the sky Wild as the horses that were born to run and fly Jet ski screaming, bonfire burning high We're just living like the mustangs tonight Thunder on the water, nobody's tame Out here on this lake we're all running just the same Run free, run wild, run like thunder tonight
