(Waylon Jennings)

Straight out of nowhere and a little bit out of our minds
We were courtin' disaster with one foot over the line
It was one for the show and two for ol' Shorty and me
We were the wild ones we had this town up a tree.

We were the wild ones the ones they couldn't control
We were survivors good hearts body and soul
We were the winners cause we didn't know we could fail
We were the wild ones and we had the world by the tail.

She was a lady when a lady wasn't easy to be
Hangin' in limbo she started hangin' with me
We were the music cause we had a song we could sing
We were the wild ones we had the world on a string.

We were the wild ones the ones they couldn't control
We were survivors good hearts body and soul
We were the winners cause we didn't know we could fail
We were the wild ones and we had the world by the tail.

We were the wild ones we had the world by the tail...
