| Not long ago, I got to wondering about all the trouble I had been gettin' in
|
| since I was a child
|
| And I finally figured it out, I brought it all on myself
|
| Drinkin' hard liquor at the age of ten
|
| Chasing wild women since I don’t know when
|
| Rollin' them dice at the age of eleven
|
| I didn’t care much about going to heaven
|
| I ran right straight to where the action was child, just runnin' wild
|
| I ran away from home when I reached fourteen
|
| I had to go and see, what I had not seen
|
| I didn’t know the reason I was here on earth
|
| And I didn’t even know what my life was worth
|
| But I bet I thought I knew what was happening child, just runnin' wild
|
| I learned a thing or two as the years went by
|
| I learned not to rob, cheat, steal, or lie
|
| If I’d a known then everything I know now
|
| I wouldn’t have done what I did. |
| No how
|
| There was only one thing that was wrong with me child, that’s runnin' wild
|
| Listen to the now, and listen real good
|
| You better do everything good, you should
|
| You can’t get away with nothing, no how
|
| If ya headin' for trouble, you better stop right now
|
| Runnin' wild. |
| Baby runnin' wild. |
| Just runnin' wild |
