The Wild Ones Lyrics - 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
