Runnin’ Wild

Not long ago, I got to wondering about all the trouble I had been gettin' in since I was a child
And I finally figured it out, I brought it all on myself
Drinkin' hard liquor at the age of ten
Chasing wild women since I don't know when
Rollin' them dice at the age of eleven
I didn't care much about going to heaven
I ran right straight to where the action was child, just runnin' wild
I ran away from home when I reached fourteen
I had to go and see, what I had not seen
I didn't know the reason I was here on earth
And I didn't even know what my life was worth
But I bet I thought I knew what was happening child, just runnin' wild
I learned a thing or two as the years went by
I learned not to rob, cheat, steal, or lie
If I'd a known then everything I know now
I wouldn't have done what I did. No how
There was only one thing that was wrong with me child, that's runnin' wild
Listen to the now, and listen real good
You better do everything good, you should
You can't get away with nothing, no how
If ya headin' for trouble, you better stop right now
Runnin' wild. Baby runnin' wild. Just runnin' wild
