Brian Jones left the band less than one month before his death and was replaced with Mick Taylor.
In their liner notes, Richard narrates how they were inspired together with Mick to write the song.
Jagger says he sat down with Gram Parsons originally to write the song, but Gram’s version came out before their version.

The song "Wild Horses" was released in June 1971 as the second US-only single and it entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart and reached number 28.
The Rolling Stones - Wild Horses - Lyrics
Release Date - June 12,1971
Album - Sticky Fingers
Childhood living is easy to do.
The things you wanted
I bought them for you.
Graceless lady
you know how I am
you know I can't let you
slide through my hands.
Wild horses
couldn't drag me away.
Wild, wild horses
couldn't drag me away.
I watched you suffer
a dull aching pain.
Now you decided to
show me the same.
But no sweeping exits or offstage lines
could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind.
Wild Horses
couldn't drag me away.
Wild, wild horses
couldn't drag me away.
I know I dreamed you
a sin and a lie
I got my freedom
but I don't have much time.
Faith has been broken
and tears must be cried
let's do some living
after love dies.
Wild Horses
couldn't drag me away.
Wild, wild horses
we'll ride them someday
Wild Horses
couldn't drag me away.
Wild, wild horses
we'll ride them someday.
