hey child

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

but i will be there for you

hey child

hey child

we were born wild

let your neon lights

keep shinin' bright

whoa

hey child

hey child

we were born wild

let your neon lights

keep shinin' bright

oh-oh

oh-oh

back in the '06 selling weed to the freshman kids

you were the yin to my yang

we were never separate

and i know you 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 shinin' bright

whoa

hey child

hey child

we were born wild

let your neon lights

keep shinin' bright

oh-oh

oh-oh

oh-oh

oh-oh

oh-oh

oh-oh

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

hey child

you were born wild

let your neon lights

keep shinin' bright

oh

hey child

hey child

we were born wild

let your neon lights

keep shinin' bright

oh-oh

oh-oh

oh-oh

oh-oh

you're born wild

let your neon lights

keep shinin' bright

oh-oh
