Wild Child

In a town, that ain’t my own yet
In a house, that ain’t a home yet
In a life that I just started livin’

With some friends, I barely know
With a job where there’s room to grow
With a plan that I didn’t see comin’
That’s when this wild child starts runnin’

Cause I’ve run all my life
From state to state
From job to job
and mate to mate

And I’ve only slowed down when I saw disaster comin’
But then I keep on runnin’

So here I am
Standing still
Waiting for that next drink to spill
Trying to see what I surely am missing

But days go by and things are good
Getting used to this neighborhood
Growing roots in a ground where the wild flow’rs are bloomin’
So will this wild child keep movin’

Cause I’ve run all my life
From state to state
From job to job
and mate to mate

And I’ve only slowed down when I saw disaster comin’
But then I keep on runnin’

[Violin]

Looking out on neon lights
Drunk boys itchin’ to pick their fights
Crowded lines fill a road that could lead to a highway

And I could go, yeah I could leave
But is that what they expect of me?
Cause I’m always the one who makes fires out of nothin’
Or will this wild child choose somethin’?

Cause I’ve run all my life
From state to state
From job to job
and mate to mate
And I’ve only slowed down to create the next disaster

And I’ve played to the wind
I’m swum the sea
But is that alI that was meant for me
I’ve found life in the noise, but more with silence comin’
So now it’s time I stop runnin’
