Wild One Lyrics

Wild one you ran all over town
They always said you were the best around
Wild one you lived a young man's life
Lived it up fast, lived it up all the time, but all the while
You just left her stranded
Empty handed in the night
She just begged you
You just lived your wild life

Wild one
Why'd you have to raise your hand you
Wild one
Why'd you have to go and be a wild one

Wild one you made the Dallas news
Made the first page of the New Yorker too
Wild one you're in the magazine
You're face is even on the weeks review, sad, but true
You're the toast of the town
At your best, but you're in the ground
Now they miss quote you
Your words are lost and never found
You lost control and put yourself in danger you

Wild one
Why'd you have to raise your hand you
Wild one
Why'd you have to go and be a wild one
Standing in the doorway long past midnight
Your time has come, you're done with sunshine
Pack your suitcase, your time has come
Goodbye everyone, goodbye wild one

(Wild life had just begun, people said you were the devils son)
(Jumped the neighbor with the loaded gun, you paid the price)
(You were a wild one)
