Lyrics
Johnny ran with a dangerous crowd
Johnny associates with a risky crowd.
A rolling stone who liked his music real loud
He's a wandering individual who enjoys loud music.
And he don't give a damn about life he's livin'
Johnny is indifferent to the consequences of his lifestyle.
Jesse tried to be the girl next door
Jesse attempts to conform to a conventional image but desires more.
Did what Daddy told her but she wanted more
She follows her father's advice but yearns for a different life.
She wasn't satisfied with the life she's livin'
Jesse is dissatisfied with her current life.
Then jesse looked to find a different scene
Jesse seeks a change in her surroundings.
Searchin' for the fountain of insanity
Searching for an unconventional and chaotic experience.
This rebel heart she needs a resless soul
Jesse, a rebellious heart, craves a restless soul.
And Johnny's just the man to make her lose control
Johnny is the man who can make Jesse lose control.
'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul
Johnny possesses a wild nature in both body and soul.
Wild is the heart will it ever take it's toll
The wildness in the heart may have consequences.
Got the wild in his spirit got the wild in his pride
Johnny's spirit and pride are filled with wildness.
It's the wild in the heart that keeps this man alive
The wildness in the heart keeps Johnny alive.
Well these two they make a hell of a pair
Johnny and Jesse make a bold and exciting couple.
Tear up the town do it just for a dare
They engage in daring activities just for the thrill.
Spent their time on the run but they just call it livin'
They perceive their lifestyle as living on the edge.
Crossed the state line slept in every motel
Travelling across states, staying in motels, and living recklessly.
But the past was catching up
Their past is catching up, hinting at impending troubles.
Gonna take them to hell but their dreams haven't died
Despite challenges, their dreams remain alive.
Well I just hope they're forgiven
A hope for forgiveness despite their turbulent past.
Times got tough Johnny did what he could
In tough times, Johnny does what he can to survive.
Wound up with a gun didn't do him no good
Johnny's choices lead him behind bars with a child on the way.
Behind bars with a kid on the way
Jesse remains resilient, facing each day as it comes.
But Jesse's holding on she's living day by day
Jesse's determination keeps her going despite Johnny's situation.
'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul
Johnny's wild nature persists in both body and soul.
Wild in the heart will it ever take it's toll
The wildness in the heart may have enduring consequences.
Got the wild in his spirit got the wild in his pride
His spirit and pride remain untamed.
It's the wild in the heart that keeps these two alive
The wildness in their hearts sustains their lives.
Six years later Johnny's out on parole
After serving time, Johnny is out on parole.
Jesse and their boy are waiting out on the road
Jesse and their child await Johnny's return on the road.
I guess she's gonna have to take him back
Jesse contemplates taking Johnny back despite the challenges.
But she says you'd better never ever leave me again
Jesse warns Johnny not to leave again.
'Cause he got the wild in the body got the wild in the soul
Johnny's wild nature remains in both body and soul.
Wild in the heart will it ever take it's toll
The wildness in the heart may continue to have consequences.
Got the wild in his spirit got the wiwld in his pride
His spirit and pride remain filled with wildness.
It's the wild in the heart that keeps these two alive
The wildness in their hearts sustains both of them.
