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
