Johnny ran with a dangerous crowd A rolling stone who liked his music real loud And he don't give a damn about life he's livin' Jesse tried to be the girl next door Did what Daddy told her but she wanted more She wasn't satisfied with the life she's livin' Then jesse looked to find a different scene Searchin' for the fountain of insanity This rebel heart she needs a resless soul And Johnny's just the man to make her lose control 'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul Wild is the heart will it ever take it's toll Got the wild in his spirit got the wild in his pride It's the wild in the heart that keeps this man alive Well these two they make a hell of a pair Tear up the town do it just for a dare Spent their time on the run but they just call it livin' Crossed the state line slept in every motel But the past was catching up Gonna take them to hell but their dreams haven't died Well I just hope they're forgiven Times got tough Johnny did what he could Wound up with a gun didn't do him no good Behind bars with a kid on the way But Jesse's holding on she's living day by day 'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul Wild in the heart will it ever take it's toll Got the wild in his spirit got the wild in his pride It's the wild in the heart that keeps these two alive Six years later Johnny's out on parole Jesse and their boy are waiting out on the road I guess she's gonna have to take him back But she says you'd better never ever leave me agian 'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul Wild in the heart will it ever take it's toll Got the wild in his spirit got the wiwld in his pride It's the wild in the heart that keeps these two alive
