I'm looking for somebody who might have come this-a-way
|
Could have been an hour ago, or maybe yesterday
|
She's pretty as a flower and shining as a star
|
I never thought she'd ever come so far
|
|
I'm tryin' to find a woman, friendly as can be
|
She's never met a stranger, I'm sure you would agree
|
And if you got to talkin', she probably made you laugh
|
Here she is in this photograph
|
|
We were the wild ones
|
The young guns
|
Restless as the wind
|
We were the wild ones
|
Now I run
|
And when I'm done
|
The wild ones will run again
|
|
I went on the road alone and left her there behind
|
I was thinkin' of myself, she said she didn't mind
|
But love is like a songbird and every song she sings
|
You'll hear a sweet reminder of her wings
|
|
We were the wild ones
|
The young guns
|
Restless as the wind
|
We were the wild ones
|
Now I run
|
And when I'm done
|
The wild ones will run again
|
|
Maybe she's across the street or half a world away
|
I've got to find her if only just to say...
|
|
We were the wild ones
|
The young guns
|
Restless as the wind
|
We were the wild ones
|
Now I run
|
And when I'm done
|
The wild ones will run again
|
|
We're the wild ones
|
We're the wild ones
|
