Runnin' Wild
Runnin' Wild: Liberation from Heartbreak
Lyrics
My gal and I, we had a fight
Conflict with his girlfriend; feeling alone
And I'm all by myself
Expressing solitude after the fight
I guess she thinks now that she's gone
She assumes he'll suffer without her
I'll lay right on the shelf
Expected to be discarded or neglected
I'm gonna show her she's all wrong
Determined to prove her wrong
No lonesome stuff for mine
Rejecting feelings of loneliness
I won't sit home, all alone
Refusing to stay home in sadness
She'll soon find that I'm
Confident she'll realize his independence
Runnin' wild, lost control
Embracing recklessness and freedom as a response to the breakup
Runnin' wild, mighty bold
-Feelin' gay, reckless too
-Care free mind all the time, never blue
-Always goin' don't know where
-Always showin', I don't care
-Don't love nobody, it's not worth while
-All alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wild
-When I first met that gal of mine
Reflecting on the beginning of the relationship and its turn towards negativity
It seemed just like a dream
-But when she tho't she had me right
-She started actin' mean
-Like mary led her little lamb
-She led me all the time
-Until the worm had to turn
-That's the reason I'm
-Runnin' wild, lost control
Reiteration of embracing wildness and independence due to the relationship's end
Runnin' wild, mighty bold
-Feelin' gay, reckless too
-Care free mind all the time, never blue
-Always goin' don't know where
-Always showin', I don't care
-Don't love nobody, it's not worth while
-All alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wild
-No gal will ever make a fool of me
Declaring independence from being manipulated by a partner
No gal! I mean just what I say
-I ain't the simpleton I used to be
-Wonder how I got that way
-Once I was full of sentiment, it's true
-But now I got a cruel heart
-With all that other foolishness I'm through
-Gonna play the Villain part
-Runnin' wild, lost control
Reiterating the themes of independence, recklessness, and emotional detachment
Runnin' wild, mighty bold
-Feelin' gay, reckless too
-Care free mind all the time, never blue
-Always goin' don't know where
-Always showin', I don't care
-Don't love nobody, it's not worth while
-All alone, runnin' wild. Runnin' wild
