Waylon Jennings Wild Ones Lyrics

Verse 1:
BE
Straight out of nowhere
B
And a little bit out of our minds
E
We were courting disaster
B
With one foot over the line
E
It was one for the show
B
And two for ol' shorty and me
E
We were the wild ones
DE B
We had this town up a tree

Chorus:
E
We were the wild ones
B
The ones they couldn't control
E
We were survivors
DE B
Good hearts - body and soul
E
We were the winners
B
'Cause we didn't know we could fail E
We were the wild ones
DE B
And we had the world by the tail

Verse 2:
E
She was a lady
B
When a lady wasn't easy to be
E
Hangin' in limbo
B
She started hangin' with me
E
We were the music
B
'Cause we had a song we could sing
E
We were the wild ones
D EB
And we had the world on a string

Chorus.

E
We were the wild ones
DE B
And we had the world by the tail
