The Wild Ones

Robert Earl Keen

I'm looking for somebody who might have come this-a-way

Could have been an hour ago, or maybe yesterday

She's pretty as a flower and shining as a star

I never thought she'd ever come so far

I'm tryin' to find a woman, friendly as can be

She's never met a stranger, I'm sure you would agree

And if you got to talkin', she probably made you laugh

Here she is in this photograph

We were the wild ones

The young guns

Restless as the wind

We were the wild ones

Now I run

And when I'm done

The wild ones will run again

I went on the road alone and left her there behind

I was thinkin' of myself, she said she didn't mind

But love is like a songbird and every song she sings

You'll hear a sweet reminder of her wings

We were the wild ones

The young guns

Restless as the wind

We were the wild ones

Now I run

And when I'm done

The wild ones will run again

Maybe she's across the street or half a world away

I've got to find her if only just to say...

We were the wild ones

The young guns

Restless as the wind

We were the wild ones

Now I run

And when I'm done

The wild ones will run again

We're the wild ones

We're the wild ones
