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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
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
|
Your 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 misquote you
|
Your words are lost and never found
|
You lost control and put yourself in danger, you
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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 devil's son)
|
(Jumped the neighbor with the loaded gun, you paid the price)
|
(You were a wild one)
|
