Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah darlin’, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space (space, space)
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin’ with the wind
And the feelin’ that I’m under
Yeah darlin’, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
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)
Born to be wild (born to be wild)
Hey-yeah
(Hey-yeah)
Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah darlin’, gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high I, I never wanna die
Born to be wild (born to be wild)
Born to be wild (born to be wild)
Hey-yeah
(Be wild)
Hey-yeah
(Be wild) yeah, yeah, yeah
Born to be wild (born to be wild)
Born to be wild (born to be wild)
Hey-yeah
Born to be wild (yeah yeah, hey-yeah)
Born to be wild (born to be wild, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Be wild) hey-yeah
