Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway

Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once and explode into space

I like smoke and lightnin'
Heavy metal thunder

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,

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway

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
