Damn it, if last night I had a bloodline
Full of a good time again
Liquor and neon, guitar to pick on
A bar stool to sit on, playin' for tips
I guess I've had it in me
Every damn day since the start
'Cause when it came time for the night
Put that wristband on my arm

It wasn't just some family hand me down
'Cause I'm one of a kind
It wasn't some name from the Bible days
'Cause that ain't quite my style
I guess the first time mama held me
She could see it in my eyes
She named me after two flowers
'Cause I was born to be wild

And this life that I weave through
I don't know how she knew
I'd need a deep roots name
That's a little bit sweet too, so when I'm in these boots
Shootin' the eighty proof, I don't need to chase
And that I was made to blow in that three sheet wind
It must've had a ring to it and felt like the perfect fit

It wasn't just some family hand medown
'Cause I'm one of a kind
It wasn't some name from the Bible days
'Cause that ain't quite my style
I guess the first time mama held me
She could see it in my eyes
She named me after two flowers
'Cause I was born to be wild
'Cause I was born to be wild, yeah

I didn't have my story yet
But guess she knew I would
But you don't need no stage name
When your mama does that good, no

It wasn't just some family hand me down
'Cause I'm one of a kind
It wasn't some name from the Bible days
'Cause that ain't quite my style
I guess the first time mama held me
She could see it in my eyes
She named me after two flowers
'Cause I was born to be wild
'Cause I was born to be wild, yeah
'Cause I was born to be wild
