I heard you got arrested
in the street last night
You called me with a voice
I didn't recognize
So you're numbing the pain,
stuck in your ways
Since we were kids it was like this
But I will be there
I will be there for you
Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights
Keep shining bright, oh
Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights
Keep shining bright, oh
Back in '06, selling weed
to the freshman kids
You were the yin to my yang,
were never separate
And I know you've been hurting,
think you deserve it
How did it end up like this
Everything will be fine
if you just get through tonight
Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights
Keep shining bright, oh
Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights
Keep shining bright, oh oh
Let your neon lights
Keep shining bright
Let your neon lights
My Brother's got a baby
on the way now
I hope that you'll meet him someday
I hope he don't make the same
mistakes we made
And when I look him
in the eyes, I'll say
Hey child (child)
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights
Keep shining bright, oh
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights
Keep shining bright, oh oh
Hey child
Hey child
We were born wild
Let your neon lights
Keep shining bright, oh oh
