Free and untamed that's how I've grown Settling down ain't my nature Roots I'll never own Oh your smile But tell me, ain't your child How can you cage a bird Born to be wild
Refrain I'm Johnny Raven by and by Oh, I'm going to leave yoour nest girl Another nest to try Ooh Johnny Raven Girl you know I shouldn't have loved you Yeah, but I gotta leave yoou When my restless heart says goodbye
Look at you little girl You feel love so deep If I could change in a second I'd change for you like that Stay right here for keeps But I'm home free for no thrills Stray I will Seems I gotta need one girl Never can feel
Refrain Yeah I'm Johnny Raven by and by Oh, I'm going to leave yoour nest girl Another nest to try Ooh Johnny Raven Girl you know I shouldn't have loved you Yeah, but I gotta leave yoou When my restless heart says goodbye
Everybody knows my name I'm Johnny Raven yeah, yeah by abd by I'm gonna fly When you cry part of me's gonna die
