[Verse 1]
Ripped-up T-shirt on the seat
Liquor stores and lotteries
It wasn't you, it wasn't me
As far as I can see
Through plastic shades that block the sun
Never cry in front of anyone
A pack of Reds and bubble gum
Now what have we become?
[Pre-Chorus]
Been so long
Through the dust kicked up from the door as it opens
Been so long
And I'm right back there again
[Chorus]
Motorbike, drunk on gasoline igniting
On a six-speed flying
Bedroom eyes lookin' through your window at me
Hold on tight, hold on to me
When we were the wild ones
When we were the wild ones
When we were the wild ones
When we were the wild ones (Hold on tight, hold on to me)
[Verse 2]
Restless summer on the road
Phone booth calls to check back home
Road map folded in your jeans
Disco fries off 17
You found love outside of town
It was hard when you came back around
But every distant memory now
Feels so close when I hear that sound
[Chorus]
Motorbike, drunk on gasoline igniting
On a six-speed flying
Bedroom eyes lookin' through your window at me
Hold on tight, hold on to me
When we were the wild ones
When we were the wild ones
When we were the wild ones
When we were the wild ones (Hold on tight, hold on to me)
