Johnny ran with a dangerous crowd
A rolling stone who liked his music real loud
And he don't give a damn about life he's livin'
Jesse tried to be the girl next door
Did what Daddy told her but she wanted more
She wasn't satisfied with the life she's livin'
Then jesse looked to find a different scene
Searchin' for the fountain of insanity
This rebel heart she needs a resless soul
And Johnny's just the man to make her lose control
'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul
Wild is the heart will it ever take it's toll
Got the wild in his spirit got the wild in his pride
It's the wild in the heart that keeps this man alive
Well these two they make a hell of a pair
Tear up the town do it just for a dare
Spent their time on the run but they just call it livin'
Crossed the state line slept in every motel
But the past was catching up
Gonna take them to hell but their dreams haven't died
Well I just hope they're forgiven
Times got tough Johnny did what he could
Wound up with a gun didn't do him no good
Behind bars with a kid on the way
But Jesse's holding on she's living day by day
'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul
Wild in the heart will it ever take it's toll
Got the wild in his spirit got the wild in his pride
It's the wild in the heart that keeps these two alive
Six years later Johnny's out on parole
Jesse and their boy are waiting out on the road
I guess she's gonna have to take him back
But she says you'd better never ever leave me agian
'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul
Wild in the heart will it ever take it's toll
Got the wild in his spirit got the wiwld
