Straight out of nowhere And a little bit out of our minds We were courting disaster With one foot over the line It was one for the show And two for ol' Shorty and me We were the wild ones We had the town up a tree
We were the wild ones The ones they couldn't control We were survivors Good hearts, body and soul We were the winners Cause we didn't know we could fail We were the wild ones And we had the world by the tail
She was a lady When a lady wasn't easy to be Hangin' in limbo She started hangin' with me We were the music Cause we had a song we could sing We were the wild ones And we had the world on a string
We were the wild ones The ones they couldn't control We were survivors Good hearts, body and soul We were the winners Cause we didn't know we could fail We were the wild ones And we had the world by the tail
We were the wild ones The ones they couldn't control We were survivors Good hearts, body and soul We were the winners Cause we didn't know we could fail We were the wild ones And we had the world by the tail
