I heard you got arrested in the street last night You called me with a voice I didn’t recognize So you’re numbing the pain Stuck in your ways Since we were kids it was like this But I will be there But I will be there for you
Hey child Hey child We were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin’ bright, whoa Hey child Hey child We were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin’ bright, oh-oh, oh-oh
Back in the ’06 selling weed to the freshman kids You were the yin to my yang, we were never separate And I know you been hurting Think you deserve it How did it end up like this? Everything will be fine If you just get through tonight
Hey child Hey child We were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin’ bright, whoa Hey child Hey child We were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin’ bright, oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh
Brother’s got a baby on the way now I hope that you’ll meet him someday I hope he don’t make the same mistakes we made And when I look him in the eyes I’ll say
Hey child Hey child You were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin’ bright, oh Hey child Hey child We were born wild Let your neon lights Keep shinin’ bright, oh-oh, oh-oh
(Hey, hey child) Oh-oh, oh-oh (Hey, hey child) You’re born wild (We were born, were born wild) Let your neon lights Keep shinin’ bright, oh-oh, oh-oh
