Running Wild Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Carry a smoke

In an officer's gaze; he let it slide

On the street we were raised where the church light

Let us know it was home time

Stolen street signs

Consumption in public, a small fine

Realized our only crime

Was thinkin' we had all the time



[Pre-Chorus]

And, Lord, I feel like every street holds a memory

For every low, there was a high

Oh, I know no matter where I go



[Chorus]

That we were born restless

And we were born runnin' wild

We were born restless

And we were born runnin' wild



[Verse 2]

Rollerbladin'

Found our names and our hands on the pavement

So quickly the years came and went

All of the time we'd spent

Still I can't forsake hope

Can't get out of my mind, every bad joke

They remind of the younger time

Before innocence fell behind



[Pre-Chorus]

When we would stay out in the street makin' memories

For every low, we found a high

Oh, I know no matter where I go



[Chorus]

That we were born restless

And we were born runnin' wild

We were born restless

And we were born runnin' wild



[Bridge]

I taught you how to drive a car

How to smile with a broken heart



[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause every single street holds a memory

I feel alone and I can't get high

Oh, I know no matter where I go

Twenty-one is young to be feelin' old

Waitin' to hear if you're here anymore

And, oh, I know no matter where I go



[Chorus]

That we were born restless

And we were born runnin' wild

We were born restless

We were born runnin' wild
