Wild One

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)
