Ma...
[Verse 1]
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way
[Chorus]
Yeah, darlin', go and make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
[Verse 2]
I like smoke and lightnin'
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under
[Chorus]
Yeah, darlin', go and make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
[Bridge]
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way
[Chorus]
Yeah, darlin', go and make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
[Outro]
Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Born to be wild
Born to be wild
