I heard you got arrested in the street last night You called me with a voice I didn't recognize So you're numbin' the pain, stuck in your ways Since we were kids it was like this But I will be there, I will be there for you
Hey child, hey child We were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin' bright Oh, hey child, hey child We were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin' bright Oh, oh
Back in the '06, sellin' weed to the freshman kids You were the end of my aim whenever separate And I know you've been hurtin', think you deserve it How did it end up like this? Everything will be fine if you just get through tonight
Hey child, hey child We were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin' bright, oh Hey child, hey child We were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin' bright Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh
My brother's got a baby on the way now I hope that you'll meet him some day I hope he don't make the same mistakes we made And when I look him in the eyes, I'll say
Hey child, hey child You were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin' bright, oh Hey child, hey child We were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin' bright Oh, oh
Hey, hey child Oh, oh Hey, hey child You're born wild (We were born, we were born wild) Let your neon lights Keep shinin' bright Oh, oh
