Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes your way
[Verse 2]
Yeah, baby, gonna make it happen
Take the world into a love embrace
Fire all of your guns
And explode into space
[Verse 3]
Like a stroke of lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
The feeling that I'm under
[Verse 4]
Yeah, baby, gonna make it happen
Take the world into a love embrace
Fire all of your guns
And explode in the space
[Verse 5]
Like a true nature, child
We were born to be wild
We can climb so high
We're never gonna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
[Verse 6]
Get your motor running
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
And whatever comes your way
[Verse 7]
Yeah, baby, gonna make it happen
Take the world into a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode in the space
[Verse 8]
Like our true nature child
We were born to be wild
We're gonna climb so high
We're never gonna die
Yeah
Born to be wild
We were born to be wild
