Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wild hearted son
Baby, the world didn't want me to run
To try and break me down to my knees
Wild hearted, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Yeah
[Verse 3]
Well, now you know I shoot from the hip, now
My fist raised in the air
I'm a whirlwind dreamer, baby
With my head high in the clouds, yeah
[Verse 4]
Oh, now don't take me too lightly
I got the blues power, baby
And I'm just a breed of society
I'm pushin' hard and stealin' free
Don't you try to lay no trip on me, yeah
[Verse 5]
I'm a wild hearted son
I'm comin' down like a rollin' stone
Wild hearted son, yeah
I'm a wild hearted son
Hey mama, the world didn't want me to run
Wild hearted son
[Verse 6]
Oh, I was born to the city
But I longed to roam free
Got a screamin' horse in my belly
Scar on my heart
[Verse 7]
I live outside of convention
You know the people who stare
I'm just a breed of society
I'm pushin' hard and I'm stealin' free
Don't you try to lay no trip on me, whoa
[Verse 8]
'Cause I'm a wild hearted son
I'm comin' down like a rollin' stone, yeah
Wild hearted son
I'm a wild hearted son
Oh, little honey, the world didn't want me to run, yeah
Wild hearted son
[Verse 9]
Baby, baby, yeah, yeah
[Verse 10]
Wild hearted son, yeah
The world didn't want me to run
Tried to break me down, down, down, down
Down
[Verse 11]
I'm a wild hearted son
I'm comin' down like a rollin' stone, yeah
Wild hearted son
I'm a wild hearted son
Oh, little honey, the world didn't want me to run
Wild hearted son, son, baby, yeah
[Verse 12]
Whoa, yeah
Show me that wild hearted son
Wild hearted son
[Verse 13]
The world didn't want me to run
I'm a wild hearted son
