Verse 1

  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 this town up a tree

Chorus

  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

Verse 2

  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

Chorus.

  We were the wild ones

  And we had the world by the tail
